  • Title: [An epidemic outbreak among newborn infants caused by rotaviruses].
    Author: Mumdzhiev Kh, Petrova N, Cholakova M.
    Journal: Akush Ginekol (Sofiia); 1994; 33(3):10-2. PubMed ID: 7793515.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a nosocomial infection of rotavirus gastroenteritis in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which affect ten, mainly premature infants. A positive coproculture of rotavirus is isolated from 4 symptomatic and 4 asymptomatic infants. The leading syndrome is that of dehydration in 80% of the cases, attended by moderately expressed diarrhoea and vomitus. The main laboratory sign is marked metabolic acidosis in 80% of the patients. An effective pathogenetic therapy is implemented which eliminates the infection in 2 months without lethal exitus.
