[Enteral adenovirus and infantile intussusception]

The authors investigated the data of a six-months old child having gone through a successful reduction. On the basis of these results, they have come to suppose that the enteric adenovirus 41 played a role in the course of the intussusception. The detection of the virus was verified through PCR, the application of hexon primers and by the restrictive enzyme analysis of Taq I and Hha I.
