Finish Rotavirus

Astro

Supportive

All age groups

Highest attack rate?

12 hrs - 3 days

Tissue culture

Duration: 3-7 days

Median duration of viral excretion: 20 days

Rotavirus GI-tis

Symptoms indistinguishable from Rotavirus-induced gastroenteritis except disease is milder

7 serotypes

Star-shaped

Enteric Adeno

Hand washing

Vaccine for military

CAVEAT: Only covers serotypes 4, 7, and 21

8-10 days

Longer than most enteric viruses

Children < 2 y.o.

Group with highest incidence

Not detected by routine techniques

Tissue culture is gold standard for adenoviruses, but enteric adenoviruses (serotypes 40 and 41) are not detected by routine tissue culture techniques.

Molecular techniques used by research labs

DNA probe

Commercial kit

Diarrhea: 5-12 days

Vomiting: 2-3 days

Mild respiratory symptoms

Otherwise indistinguishable

Viral GI-tis

2nd most common cause of viral GI-tis in hospitalized patients

Serotypes 40, 41
