Abstract
In a period of 19S4 to 1986, 285 faecal specimens from children with diarrhea were submitted to enzyme irnrnunoassay, polyacriamide-gel electrophoresis and electron-microscopy tests. of the total 285 specimens, 15.4070was positive for rotavirus and 3.2% positive for adenovirus. Of 44(15.4%) positive speeimens positive in enzyme immunoassay, 37 showed electrophoretic patterns proper to human rotavirus. Of these, 27
were analysed according to Lourencos scheme (1981) showing a great heterogenicity of electrophoretic patterns and predominance of rotavirus of subgroup 2. Only one sample of rotavirus of subgroup 1 was detected in the study.
