ABSTRACT
A prospective analysis of 90 clinically diagnosed cases with acute diarrhea over a period of one year was carried out to determine the prevalence of rotavirus infection in children between 2 months to 2 years of age. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (PAGE) were used for detection of rotavirus from stool sample. Fourteen (15.6%) of them were found to be positive for group A rotavirus, 9 (23%) cases were between 6 months to 1 year of age. Rotavirus excretion was highest (50%) when all three symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting and fever) occurred in the same child. A planned study for surveillance of rotavirus serotypes is required from this area.
