This study provides epidemiological data for a wide variety of diarrheal viruses circulating in adult patients with diarrhea in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Then, the specimens were tested for the presence of SaV, AiV, group A rotavirus (RVA), group C rotavirus (RVC), HPeV, NoV GI and GII, EV, AdV, and AstV by RT-multiplex PCR using the protocol described previously by Khamrin et al. In addition, this study clearly demonstrates that HPeV is an unusual cause of acute gastroenteritis in adults compared to other viruses. The relatively low rate of diarrheal virus detection in adults with diarrhea in this study suggests that acute gastroenteritis in adults in this area may be caused by other pathogens. ./cache/cord-285429-vmnj25b5.txt ./txt/cord-285429-vmnj25b5.txt
