| [atypical rotavirus isolated from acute infectious nonbacterial gastroenteritis in fukuoka]. | an outbreak of epidemic diarrhea (nonbacterial acute gastroenteritis) in fukuoka was studied electron microscopically and electrophoretically. from the result of electron microscopy, rotavirus particles about 70 nm in diameter were observed in fecal samples. however, the serological study did not reveal any antigenic relatedness to the ordinary rotaviruses by rpha. the outbreak appeared to be caused by group c rotaviruses, based on the pattern of the rna genome segments in polyacrylamide gels. | 1990 | 2173729 |
| a mass outbreak of gastroenteritis associated with group c rotaviral infection in schoolchildren. | in 1988, a mass outbreak of epidemic diarrhea, i.e., consisting of 296 cases, occurred in fukuoka prefecture. fecal samples from patients of the outbreak were cultured for bacteria, but all samples were negative. although direct electron microscopy (dem) revealed the existence of rotavirus-like particles (diam. 60-70 nm) in the fecal samples, serological studies could not detect any antigenic relation to the ordinary rotaviruses by the reverse passive hemagglutination (rpha) and enzyme-linked im ... | 1998 | 9597309 |
