Overview

The submitted paper summarizes the first data on the incidence of astroviruses in specimens offaeces of children suffering from gastroenteritis in the Slovak Republic. The presence of theastrovirus antigen was revealed in 21 specimens (11.2%) of the investigated groups comprising 188children. Astrovirus infection only was detected in 8 specimens (4.3%) and mixed infection withastroviruses and rotaviruses in 13 samples (6.9%), incl. six from 0–11-month-old infants. The resultsindicate the need to extend the spectrum of enteral pathogens elucidating diarrhoeal diseases bythe diagnosis of astroviruses.

Key words:
astroviruses – rotaviruses – virus gastroenteritis – mixed infection.
