Overview

Surveillance of circulating rotavirus strains in Brazilian children should continue; leaves open questions on vaccine impact and regional evolution.

Structured PICO

P
Population
187 fecal samples from children aged 0 to 5 years, collected in the Hospital Universitário - USP, Brazil, from 1994 to 1996.
O
Outcome
Rotavirus positivity and strain characterization (electropherotyping, subgrouping, G serotype and genotype, P genotype)surrogate

The study highlights the serological and molecular diversity of human rotavirus in children in São Paulo, Brazil, including the first description of specific mixed strains in Latin America.
