腹泻病是发展中国家发病率和死亡率高的主要原因,而轮状病毒看来是最经常碰到的病原体。但是,关于非洲国家轮状病毒的长期调查研究很缺乏,而且大多数报道仅涉及医院感染危险性高的住院患者(Middleton,1982;Champsaur et al,1984)。本文报道了非洲加蓬轮状病毒感染的一年调查结果及其与气象因素的关系。此调查研究只涉及非住院患者,论述轮状病毒在这地区长时间的自然流行情况。
Diarrheal disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries, and rotavirus appears to be the most commonly encountered causative agent. However, long-term surveys of rotavirus in African countries are scarce and most have been reported only for hospitalized patients at high risk of nosocomial infection (Middleton 1982; Champsaur et al 1984). This paper reports the results of a one-year survey of rotavirus infection in Gabon, Africa, and its relationship to meteorological factors. This survey only involved non-hospitalized patients and discussed the long-standing natural epidemic of rotavirus in the area.
