Resumo
We analyzed fecal samples from hospitalized children up to three years of age with acute gastroenteritis at
Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, from May 2000-January 2004. Astrovirus and calicivirus were de-
tected by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction and adenovirus was detected using the Rotavirus and
Adenovirus combined immunoenzyme assay. Astrovirus, adenovirus and calicivirus were detected at rates of 3.1%,
3.6% and 7.6%, respectively. These results re-emphasize the need for the establishment of regional vigilance systems
to evaluate the impact of enteric viruses on viral gastroenteritis.
