    This study analyzed 2,179 stool samples from 1,608 children, finding Rotavirus and bacterial pathogens equally prevalent in infantile gastroenteritis. Understanding seasonal variations and age distribution aids in identifying causative agents.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Context:

    • Infantile gastroenteritis is a common pediatric illness.
    • Accurate diagnosis of causative agents is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Rotavirus and bacterial pathogens are significant contributors to childhood diarrhea.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the prevalence of Rotavirus and bacterial pathogens in children with and without gastrointestinal symptoms.
    • To investigate the seasonal variations and age-specific distribution of Rotavirus infections.
    • To evaluate the utility of ELISA and stool culture methods in diagnosing infantile gastroenteritis.

    Summary:

    • A one-year study reviewed 2,179 stool specimens from 1,608 children.
    • Rotavirus was detected in 27.61% of symptomatic children, while bacterial pathogens were found in 27.29%.
