C组轮状病毒在许多国家引起儿童和成人的散发病例和急性腹泻暴发，但从未在西班牙儿童中发现。最近进行的一项监测研究对马德里接受急性腹泻治疗的 822 名幼儿的粪便样本进行细菌和病毒筛查，结果在 238 名 (29%) 儿童的粪便样本中未检测到病原体。在这项研究中，我们通过 EIA 和 PCR 检查了其中 147 份 C 组轮状病毒样本，发现 22 份 (15%) 呈阳性。我们的研究结果表明，C 组轮状病毒是西班牙儿童腹泻的重要原因。
Group C rotavirus causes sporadic cases and outbreaks of acute diarrhea in children and adults in many countries, but has never been detected among children in Spain. In a recently conducted surveillance study to screen fecal specimens for bacteria and viruses from a cohort of 822 young children who were treated for acute diarrhea in Madrid, no pathogens were detected in fecal specimens from 238 (29%) children. In this study, we examined 147 of those specimens for group C rotavirus by EIA and PCR and found 22 (15%) were positive. Our findings demonstrate that group C rotavirus is an important cause of childhood diarrhea in Spain.
