Abstract

[Objective] To investigate the situation of group A rotavirus infection in this region,providing epidemiological data for clinical medicine. [Methods] The colloid gold fast method was used to detect the stool samples of 1 040 infants with acute diarrhea. [Results] Among the 1 040 samples,183( 17. 6%) strains were detected positive for rotavirus,and the higher positive rate was found between 6months and 2 years old infants( 23. 6%). The season peak was from November to January.[Conclusion] Rotavirus infection proves to be one of the leading causes of infantile diarrhea. It is suggested that in rotavirus epidemic period,infants aged 2 months to 2 years should be given vaccinations.
