High circulation of non-polio enteroviruses among hospitalized children with acute gastroenteritis in Belém, Pará State, Northern Brazil

Enteroviruses are transmitted by fecal-oral and respiratory routes and can be associated with sporadic cases and outbreaks of gastroenteritis. A causative agent in approximately 40% of diarrheal cases still remains undiagnosed. Non-polio enteroviruses were detected in 46 (26%) of 176 diarrhea stool...

Sumario:Enteroviruses are transmitted by fecal-oral and respiratory routes and can be associated with sporadic cases and outbreaks of gastroenteritis. A causative agent in approximately 40% of diarrheal cases still remains undiagnosed. Non-polio enteroviruses were detected in 46 (26%) of 176 diarrhea stool specimens by both real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) and semi-nested RT-PCR assays. This study presents a high circulation of enteroviruses in children with acute gastroenteritis in the City of Belém, Pará State, Brazil.
