Abstract:
During December 1976 to January-March 1977, 13/53 children less than 5 years of age were admitted with acute enteritis caused by rotaviruses to the Hospital del Niño, DIF. There is already convincing evidence that this new virus will prove to be the most important etiological agent of sporadic acute enteritis in young children.
