Key result
Norovirus GII was detected in 14.1% and sapovirus in 1.2% of 248 fecal specimens from children hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis, highlighting significant genetic diversity.
Cross-Sectional (n=248)
Human caliciviruses, particularly NoV GII/4, are important causes of acute gastroenteritis with significant genetic diversity in hospitalized children in Thailand.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May inform calicivirus surveillance in Thai pediatric gastroenteritis; leaves open need for prospective studies on burden and vaccines.
Khamrin et al. (2007) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute gastroenteritis (n=248). Norovirus and sapovirus infection was evaluated on Detection of norovirus (NoV) and sapovirus (SaV). Norovirus GII was detected in 14.1% and sapovirus in 1.2% of 248 fecal specimens from children hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis, highlighting significant genetic diversity.
