Implication

Low incidence suggests limited diagnostic role in pediatric diarrhea; leaves open surveillance value for mixed infections and emerging genotypes.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1,023 stool specimens (457 from children hospitalized with acute diarrhea, 566 from adults and children involved in 110 gastroenteritis outbreaks)
I
Intervention
Screening for Aichi virus by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) amplification of 3CD and VP1 genes
O
Outcome
Prevalence and genetic diversity of Aichi virus

Aichi virus has a low incidence in pediatric acute diarrhea but may be an indicator of mixed infections in gastroenteritis outbreaks, with genotype A being prevalent in France.
