May identify children at higher risk for persistence; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before guiding care.
Observational
Is astrovirus serotype 3 infection associated with persistent gastroenteritis in children compared to other serotypes?
Astrovirus serotype 3 infection is associated with higher viral titers and a greater likelihood of persistent or severe gastroenteritis in children.
Caballero et al. (2003) conducted an observational in Astrovirus infection. Astrovirus serotype 3 infection vs. Other astrovirus serotypes was evaluated on Persistent gastroenteritis. Astrovirus serotype 3 infection was associated with persistent gastroenteritis, with 42.9% of type 3 isolates implicated in persistent cases.
