Human Torovirus: A New Nosocomial Gastrointestinal Pathogen 1998-11-17 .txt text/plain 3401 184 39 Torovirus-like particles purified from stool specimens were further shown to be toroviruses on the basis of their morphology, immunospecific interactions with Breda virus antiserum, ability to elicit an immune response following infection, and the high degree of homology of the 3 end of their genome with that of the Berne and Breda viruses [19] . At a different time from that of study 1, patients whose stool specimens were positive for torovirus, rotavirus, or astrovirus by electron microscopy were enrolled in study 2. In torovirus-positive patients, stool specimens were examined daily by electron microscopy during the hospitalization and at follow-up. Nine additional torovirus-positive patients developed bloody diarrhea within 2-15 days after study enrollment and had no other pathogen in the stool sample. Stool specimens collected on a follow-up visit 2-6 months after study enrollment from 168 patients infected with torovirus showed that 14 were shedding the virus. ./cache/cord-301340-lhh04pum.txt ./txt/cord-301340-lhh04pum.txt
