ABSTRACT

Objective: Identify early adenoviruses in children with acute gastroenteritis.
Methods: Retrospective study that included patients under 16 years with diagnosis of infectious gastroenteritis in a four year period, 1619 subjects were found; 501 were tested for adenoviruses in stool.
Results: The frequency of adenoviruses was 9.9%. The disease prevailed in infants. It had a subacute evolution, mainly found in spring; the most characteristic symptom was a profuse, watery and mucous diarrhea with mean duration of 4 days. Vomiting was present in 40 (80%) patients and was brief but intense half the patients presented fever, abdominal pain and bloating. Only one presented with severe dehydration. Normal leukocyte count with monocitosis and lymphocytosis were mainly observed in the CBC.
Conclusion: adenoviruses are important causal agents of acute gastroenteritis in children under two years. Rapid stool test helps us have a precocious diagnosis and avoid antibiotic overuse.
