Implication

Aichi virus may contribute to some gastroenteritis outbreaks; leaves open its etiologic role and diagnostic value pending controlled studies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
17 Aichi virus isolates from patients with gastroenteritis (7 from Japan outbreaks, 5 Japanese returning from Southeast Asia, 5 Pakistani children) and 99 fecal specimens from patients in 37 outbreaks of gastroenteritis in Japan.
I
Intervention
Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and sequence analysis
O
Outcome
Detection and differentiation of Aichi virus (genotypes A and B)

RT-PCR is a useful tool for detecting Aichi virus in stool samples and identifying prevalent strains in gastroenteritis outbreaks.
