    Abstract:
    Rotavirus is the most common gastrointestinal pathogen in infants and young children. The aim of this study was to determine the role of rotavirus in acute diarrhea in children hospitalized in Pediatric Infectious Diseases Clinic in Bialystok. 658 children aged 0-7 years admitted to the ward: 466 children with gastroenteritis and another 192 without any diarrheic symptoms were tested for rotavirus infection by latex agglutination. Rotavirus was detected in 16.1% stool specimens collected from children with acute diarrhea. None of patients without diarrhea was positive for rotavirus on admission--2% of this patients acquired symptomatic rotavirus infection during hospitalization. This study delivers epidemiological data on rotavirus infection and shows the need of further study on etiology of viral gastroenteritis in children in our district.
