Background and Objectives: Human Adenoviruses are one of the most common and serious etiologic agents of acute gastroenteritis in children younger of 5 years old in word wide, especially developing countries. The purpose study was a survey of molecular epidemiology of enteric Adenoviruses in acute gastroenteritis in hospitalized children in Bahrami hospital in Tehran, 2008-2008.
Materials and Methods: We obtained 100 stool specimens from hospitalized children under 5 years of age with clinical presentation of acute gastroenteritis in Tehran from June 2008 to June 2009. Viral DNA was extracted by extraction kit of DNA. Then extracted viral DNA by use of PCR method with genus specific and type 40, 41 primers, enteric Adenoviruses were diagnosed.
Results: Adenoviruses Ad40, Ad41 have been detected in 8 (8%) of patients with diarrhea. The highest prevalence of infection occurred in children aged 0 to 24 months (75%). The rates of infection were 60% for male and 40%for females. Our data indicated that the outbreaks of Adenoviruses infection were in winter(50%).The frequency of the Adenoviruses Ad40,Ad41 among breast-fed and bottle-fed, was 12.5%and 62.5%respectively.
Conclusion: Molecular diagnostic methods should be with high features such as PCR and effective step in the recognition of these factors can be harvested as the appropriate strategy for treatment adopted.
