Rotavirus infection in children assisted at a Gran Buenos Aires hospital
In order to diagnose rotavirus infection, stool samples from 134 children assisted at the Hospital B. Houssay, Vte. Lopez, Pcia. de Buenos Aires, Argentina, have been analysed employing the Rotazyme II Diagnostic Kit (Abbot Lab.). The percentage of positive samples reached 38.8% detecting 30 and 22...
