What is the prevalence of klassevirus in hospitalized children with gastroenteritis in South Korea?
Klassevirus is present in 8.8% of hospitalized children with gastroenteritis in South Korea, suggesting it may be a possible cause of the condition.
Suggests klassevirus as potential pediatric gastroenteritis pathogen; hypothesis-generating from cross-sectional data.
To investigate prevalence and clinical characteristics of klassevirus in South Korea, we performed molecular screening in fecal and nasopharyngeal samples from hospitalized children with gastroenteritis. A total of 26 (8.8%) of 294 fecal samples were positive for klassevirus. Klassevirus may be a possible cause of gastroenteritis.
