RESUMO
This paper shows the incidence of rotavirus and other pathogenic agents in 256 children under three years of age with a diagnosis of acute diarrhea. This study included the months of December 1983 through May 1984. Rotavirus was found in 27.7% of patients, followed by enteropathogenic E. coli (17%). No positive cases were found in the control group. The highest incidence of rotavirus infection coincided with the coldest months where the lowest volumes of rains were reported.

Ten lepers with the lepromin-negative lepromatous form and ten lepers with the lepromin-positive tuberculoid form who underwent the leukocyte migration inhibition test were studied. A market impairment of cell-mediated immunity in the lepromatous group as well as significative differences of the average inhibition rates between both groups of patients were found. Results from this in vitro test were correlated to those from the lepromin skin test and a correspondence in 18 out of the 20 patients studied was obtained.
