Zusammenfassung

Bei elektronenmikroskopischer Direktuntersuchung von 72 Stuhlproben von Säuglingen und Kleinkindern mit akuter Gastroenteritis konnten in 29 Stuhlproben Viruspartikel nachgewiesen werden, die entweder als Reovirus-ähnlich (16 Stuhlproben), als Coronavirus (11 Stuhlproben) oder als Adenovirus (2 Stuhlproben) eingeordnet werden konnten. Die elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchung von 11 Stuhlproben gesunder Säuglinge zeigte diese Viruspartikel nicht. Zur Untersuchungsmethode werden vergleichende Untersuchungen angestellt.

Summary

In 72 faecal extracts examined from babies and infants with an acute gastroenteritis, virus particles were found in 29 cases. These particles could be classified as reovirus-like in 16 cases, coronaviruses in 11 cases and adenoviruses in 2 cases. The electron microscopic investigation of 11 faecal extracts from healthy babies did not show any of these particles. Comparative studies on the concentration methods were performed.

IMPORTANCE OF A NEW VIRUS IN ACUTE SPORADIC ENTERITIS IN CHILDREN

I.H Holmes, R.F Bishop, B.J Ruck … (1975)

In a year-long survey of children admitted with acute enteritis to hospital in Melbourne, Australia, an aetiological agent was found in approximately 75% of patients. During most months of the year a newly described virus belonging to the family Reoviridae was detected by electron microscopy of faecal extracts from more than 50% of patients. Recovery of this virus reached a peak (73%) during the winter. All age-group up to five years of age were susceptible to infection, which was occasionally fatal. Duration of infection was brief, with a probable incubation period of less than two days. Infections acquired in hospital were not uncommon. The name of this new virus is not decided. The name "duovirus" is proposed rather than "rotavirus" as previously suggested. There is already convincing evidence that this new virus will prove to be the most important aetiological agent of sporadic acute enteritis in young children.

Diagnostic electron microscopy of faeces. I. The viral flora of the faeces as seen by electron microscopy.

Abigail H. Davies, A Bryden, T H Flewett (1974)

A method is described for examining viruses in faeces by direct electron microscopy using negative staining. The particles found in a group of patients with gastroenteritis and a group with other conditions are compared. Small particles in the range of sizes covering parvoviruses and enteroviruses were found about as frequently in each group. Many of these were probably bacteriophages. Many bacteriophages with tails of various sizes and lengths were found. Adenoviruses were found in five of eight patients from whom they were isolated. Reovirus- (or orbivirus-) like particles were found associated with some gastroenteritis patients.
