Key result
Group A human rotavirus isolates from children with acute diarrhea in Paris during 1997-1998 belonged exclusively to types G1 to G4, with type G4 predominating at 60%.
Type G4 was the predominant human rotavirus G genotype (60%) circulating in a Paris children's hospital during the 1997-1998 epidemic.

Rotavirus strain surveillance in children warrants ongoing monitoring; this Level 4 data leaves open contemporary genotype distributions.
Group A human rotavirus G genotypes were determined by means of reverse transcription-PCR in 170 stool specimens from children with acute diarrhea admitted to a Paris children's hospital during a 1-year survey (1997 to 1998). The isolates all belonged to types G1 to G4, with type G4 predominating (60%).
