Resumos
Trezentas e oitenta e cinco amostras fecais provenientes de crianças na faixa etária de até 11 anos, sem sintomatologia de diarréia, foram estudadas objetivando-se a detecção de rotavirus. Desta amostragem, 268foram obtidas de crianças habitantes de creches e 117 de crianças atendidas no ambulatório do Hospital Lúcio Rebelo de Goiânia-Goiás. Todas as amostrasforam analisadas através da técnica de eletroforese em gel de poliacrilamida (EGPA- SDS), e 89 foram também analisadas pelo ensaio imunoenzimático adaptado para rotavirus e adenovirus (E1ARA). Rotavirus e adenovirus só foram detectados nas crianças atendidas no ambulatório, num percentual de 1,7% e 1,6% respectivamente, não havendo nenhuma positividade nas crianças de creches. Ambos os vírus ocorrerarh na faixa etária de 1 a 2 anos.

Three hundred and eigthy five children without a diagnosis of diarrhoeal illness had faecal specimens collected in order to detect rotavirus infection. The survey was conducted in Goiânia city - CentralBrazil and the children aged 0-11 years old were recruited (268 in day care centers and 117 from a local outpatient clinic - Hospital Lucio Rebelo). Detection of rotavirus was done by Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE - SDS), and 89 specimens were also analyzed by commercial enzyme immunoassays for rotavirus and adenovirus (EIARA). Rotaviruses and adenoviruses were only detected among the children attending the outpatient clinic. Prevalence rates of rotavirus and adenovirus excretion were of 1.7% and 1.6%, respectively. Both viruses were found among children from 1 to 2 years old.
