Studies of bacterial, rotaviral and Cryptosporidium etiology of acute diarrheal diseases in hospitalized children.

657 hospitalized children with acute diarrheal disease were studied for bacterial and rotaviral etiology. Cryptosporidium presence was followed in 123 children. Intestinal pathogens were detected in 195 (29.

[The presence of enterovirus in species of shellfish and fish].

Enteroviruses were isolated from 12% of the digestive tract samples collected from Anodonta cygnea (9.4%) and Dreysena polymorpha (13.2%) shell species and from 8.

[Clinico-epidemiologic and laboratory studies of patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma].

The investigations carried out in 92 patients with confirmed diagnosis of primitive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have demonstrated that in almost half of them hepatitis was present in their antecedents, indicating the intervention of hepatitis virus in the etiology of this disease. In this context, the primary prophylaxis of primitive HCC is mainly based on the prophylaxis and control of viral hepatitis. As the interval detection-death was in most cases very short (1-2 month), the secondary prophylaxis consisting in performing more of the investigations recommended for the early diagnosis of primitive HCC is essential.

[Enzymatic aspects of severely acute diarrheal disease in infants].

Acute dehydration of diarrhoea of the breast-fed child is a type of hypovolemic shock which, by its severity and frequency is one of the major emergencies of pediatrics. The liver, as the site of many metabolic processes is mainly affected in the frame of the multiple-tissue involvement which is characteristic for this condition. The authors carried out a study of several enzymes (total LDH and the thermally-labile fraction, gluthamatdehydrogenase, gammaglutamyltranspeptidase, acid and alkaline phosphatase) in 27 breast-fed children.

[Virologic research on the quality of 2 sources of drinking water from zone "I"].

Enteroviruses were isolated from 4.6% out of the examined tap water samples. No relation could be established between viral pollution and classic quality indexes of water.

[Presence of the rotavirus antigen in newborn infants at maternity hospitals in Moldavia].

Studies conducted on 417 feces samples collected from newborn infants from seven maternity homes revealed the presence of rotavirus in 1.2 to 9.5% of the subjects.

[Mixed viral-bacterial infections in infants with gastroenteritis].

Fecal specimens from 84 children with gastroenteritis were submitted to virological and bacteriological analysis. Enteroviruses other than poliovirus were found in 8.3%, rotavirus in 4.

[Detection of the rotavirus group antigen by a screening test using the ELISA-IC kit in subjects with acute gastroenteritis, at the pediatric services of Moldavia].

The rotaviral antigen was detected by a screening test using the ELISA-IC kit in 17.6% out of 415 children with acute gastroenteritis. The highest frequency (28.

[Risk of transmission of enterovirus from the surface of toilets].

Experimental studies using dyes and microbial agents as indicators showed that a viral contamination of the various surfaces of the water closets is possible through the droplets formed when one flushes the W.C. pan.

Surveillance of enterovirus circulation in children communities.

In three children communities covered by a virological study enteroviruses could be isolated from 19.3% of the stool samples, 52.3% of the sewage samples and 9.

Coxsackie A virus-associated herpetiform angina.

Virological investigations were performed in 25 herpangina cases that occurred in a large urban centre in the summer season of 1982. Twelve Coxsackie A virus strains (10 Coxsackie A5 strains, one Coxsackie A4 and one Coxsackie A6 strain) could be isolated from 9 (36.0%) of the patients.
