Rotavirus was the primary cause of acute gastrointestinal illness in newborns at a French hospital. The study suggests nosocomial contamination as the likely source of this pediatric infection.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
  • Virology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • An outbreak of acute gastrointestinal disorders affected newborns at the Amiens' Gynecology-Obstetrical center.
  • The study period spanned two months.

Purpose:

  • To determine the etiology of acute gastrointestinal disorders in newborns.
  • To identify the causative agents responsible for the outbreak.

Summary:

  • Rotavirus was identified in 33% of affected infants using electron microscopy and Enzyme-linked Immuno-sorbent Assay (ELISA).
  • Enteropathogenic bacteria were infrequently isolated, suggesting a viral origin.
  • One case involved a co-infection with Rotavirus and a small round virus.
