ASYMPTOMATIC ENDEMIC ROTAVIRUS INFECTIONS IN THE NEWBORN	1978-06-03		.txt	text/plain	1634	98	53	RoTAViRUSES are the commonest cause of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis in infancy and childhood,',' and a common cause of severe diarrhoeal disease in newborn calves3 and piglets.4 Rotavirus infection is world-wide and iri children admitted to hospital is most common between 6 months and 2 years of age;5 virus is seldom detected in the stools of symptomless age-matched controls. ' 7 Although the babies were infected as early as the third day of life, virus excretion was most frequent among 5-9 day-old babies, who showed few if any of the symptoms of infection found in older children.' This paper describes a 12-month study of the incidence of infection, the amount of virus excreted by breast-fed and bottle-fed babies, and the pattern of virus spread during the transfer of maternity wards to quarters in a newly built hospital wing.	./cache/cord-010255-gvkc2hjd.txt	./txt/cord-010255-gvkc2hjd.txt
