There was no statistically significant difference between adenovirus and rotavirus antigen positivity regarding age and seasons (p>0.05).DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Investigation of rotavirus and adenovirus antigens in stool samples is important for epidemiological purposes and preventing the use of unnecessary antibiotics.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

Objective & Hypothesis:INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the prevalance of rotavirus and adenovirus, and their distribution according to gender, age and season, retrospectively in patients with acute gastroenteritis.
📊
Key Findings & Data:METHODS: Samples from 2355 patients with suspected acute gastroenteritis, sent from different clinics and policlinics to Microbiology Laboratuary between January 2014 and June 2015 were investigated.Rotavirus and adenovirus antigens were investigated in stool samples using the kit Rota-Adeno Card Test which uses a colored chromatographic method.RESULTS: Rotavirus was detected in 129 of 1101 (11.7%) specimens and adenovirus was detected in 42 of 1254 (3.3%) specimens.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the prevalance of rotavirus and adenovirus, and their distribution according to gender, age and season, retrospectively in patients with acute gastroenteritis. METHODS: Samples from 2355 patients with suspected acute gastroenteritis, sent from different clinics and policlinics to Microbiology Laboratuary between January 2014 and June 2015 were investigated.Rotavirus and adenovirus antigens were investigated in stool samples using the kit Rota-Adeno Card Test which uses a colored chromatographic method.RESULTS: Rotavirus was detected in 129 of 1101 (11.7%) specimens and adenovirus was detected in 42 of 1254 (3.3%) specimens. Two specimens were positive for both of the viruses. Positivity for rotavirus and adenovirus was determined mostly in winter and spring and at 13 -24 months of age. There was no statistically significant difference between adenovirus and rotavirus antigen positivity regarding age and seasons (p>0.05).DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Investigation of rotavirus and adenovirus antigens in stool samples is important for epidemiological purposes and preventing the use of unnecessary antibiotics.

Özet

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Çalışmamızda hastanemize başvuran akut gastroenteritli hastalarda rotavirüs ve adenovirüs sıklığını, cinsiyet, yaş ve mevsimlere göre dağılımlarını retrospektif olarak belirlemeyi amaçladık.YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: : Mikrobiyoloji Laboratuvarına Ocak 2014-Haziran 2015 tarihleri arasında çeşitli poliklinik ve servislerden gönderilen, akut gastroenterit ön tanılı 2355 hastanın dışkı örneğinde rotavirüs ve adenovirüs antijenleri, renkli kromatografik yöntemle çalışan Rota-Adeno Card Test kiti kullanılarak araştırıldı.BULGULAR: Rotavirüs araştırılan 1101 örneğin, 129’unda (%11,7) pozitiflik saptanmıştır. Adenovirüs ise 1254 örneğin 42’sinde (%3,3) pozitif saptanmıştır. İki örnekte, her iki virüs de saptanmıştır. Rotavirus ve adenovirus pozitiflik oranı en sık 13-24 ay grubunda saptanırken, rotavirüs ve adenovirüse bağlı enfeksiyonların kış ve ilkbahar aylarında daha sık görüldüğü saptanmıştır. Yaşa ve mevsimlere göre rotavirüs ve adeno virüs dağılımı incelendiğinde istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmamıştır (p>0,05).TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Dışkı örneklerinde rotavirüs ve adenovirüs antijenlerinin araştırılması epidemiyolojik amaçlar ve gereksiz antibiyotik kullanımını önleme açısından önemlidir.
