Investigation of rotavirus infections by ELISA in children with gastroenteritis in Batman province
Abstract
Aims: Rotavirus (RV), which is one of the most leading causes of gastroenteritis in children. newborns and young children. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the prevalence of rotavirus with the ELISA test in patients aged 5 years and younger who applied to the hospital with the enteritis from Batman province and its districts.
Methods: Stool samples collected from children aged 5 years and younger with acute gastroenteritis who applied to Batman Gynecology and Children Hospital between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016 stored at -80°C until testing. The Rotavirus ELISA kit was used.
Results: Stool samples from 154 children were enrolled in the study. Enteritis due to RV was determined as 26.62% (41/154) in children aged 0-5 years. Among the positive samples, 8/41 (19.51%), 17/41 (41.47%) and 16/41 (39.02%) antigen positivity were determined for the age groups of 4-6 months, 7-12 months and 13-24 months, respectively
Conclusion: In our study, it was firstly reported that the prevalence of rotavirus in Batman was high. Hygienic measures and the potential benefit of RV vaccines should be considered in children, especially in rural areas.
