Özet

We examined prospectively, stool specimens from 135 children, 0 to 3 years old, referred for fever, abdominal pain, vomiting and/or acute diarrhea. Rotavirus antigens were detected from fecal samples by Latex agglutination (LA), ELISA and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Rotavirus antigen positivity by Latex, ELISA and PAGE were 15, 55%, 12.59% and 11.85%, respectively. With PAGE test as reference, the sensitivity and specificity of LA and ELISA tests was 93.75%, 94.96% and 100%, 99.16%, respectively, The positivity ratio between 13-24 months group was meaningful with all tests (P = 0.042 for LA; P = 0.05 for ELISA; P = 0.031 for PAGE). ELISA and LA use found to be as sensitive and specific as PAGE in the diagnosis of rotavirus diarrhea.
