[Occurrence of rotavirus RNA electropherotypes in the pediatric population in Slovakia].

Using the method of electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel (PAGE), the authors assessed electropherotypes of rotavirus RNA in extracts of 119 specimens of faeces of sick children and from neonates with asymptomatic rotavirus infection. In both investigated groups they detected electropherotypes of five profiles: of these three had the nature of "long" electropherotypes and were detected in 91.6% of the tested samples.

Polyradiculoneuritis in children groups during simultaneous circulation of enteroviruses and adenoviruses.

Two cases of polyradiculoneuritis in children were noted during January, 1984. Each girl was a member of a different group of children: the first group was newly constituted of children from various remote regions of Czechoslovakia in a Medical Institution, the second one included children attending the same nursery school for a long time. In both groups, all or most of the children went through one or two respiratory infections which preceded the development of a paralytic disease.
