RESUMO

Diarrhea causing viruses (Rotavirus. Adenovirus and Norovirus) were investigated in diarrheal fecal samples collected from children in Kathmandu, Nepal in Janury 2004 using both real time PCR and immuno-chromatogaphic techniques. Of the total 12 diarrheal samples investigated, 8 (66.7%) were positive for Rotavirus, 1 (8.3%) was positive for Adenovirus and none was positive for Norovirus (Norwalk like virus). The Adenovirus positive sample was also positive for Rotavirus. Similar results were obtained by immuno-chromatographic technique. All of Rotavirus detected belonged to Group-A. Results indicated that immuno-chromatographic technique was equally good in the detection of diarrhea causing viruses in fecal samples. Furthermore, it was simple, cost-effective and less time consuming (15 minutes) compared with the PCR. Immuno-chromatographic technique, therefore, appeared to be useful for rapid diagnosis of viral gastroenteritis in developing countries like Nepal.
