Infantile gastroenteritis virus.
Abstract
The authors demonstrated presence of virus particles of 55--75 nm manifesting morphological properties of the virus of infantile gastroenteritis (rotavirus, orbivirus, reo-like virus) by means of the electron microscopy, when investigating samples of stools of children sufferring from non-bacterial diarrheal diseases. Stool extracts were incubated with commercial gamma globulins or with convalescent sera provoking formation of extensive immunocomplexes. The complexes do not form when stool extracts are incubated with sera obtained from initial stages of the disease. This finding is an evidence of the presence of the virus in question among our population.
