cord-008671-k0vda7fy	McCormack, J.G.	Clinical features of rotavirus gastroenteritis	2005-04-14		.txt	text/plain	2571	130	47	A history of contact with an adult with diarrheoa, vomiting occuring before diarrhoea, accompanying upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), otitis media and pyrexia and the need for administration of intravenous fluids were all significantly more prominent features of the rotavirus than the non-specific cases of gastroenteritis, and are suggested as pointers to such a diagnosis. Although an outbreak ofrotavirus gastroenteritis has been described involving adults without the known infection of children, 8 the finding of rotaviruses in adult stools has usually been acompanied by no intestinal symptoms, zl The finding in this study of a significantly higher incidence of a history of contact with an adult with gastroenteritis in the rotavirus than in the non-specific cases would suggest that adults may represent a reservoir for potential rotavirus infection in infants. The failure to find rotaviruses in the stools of any control patients with similar infections, but without diarrhoea, would support the role of the rotavirus as being responsible for the intestinal features of such illnesses.	./cache/cord-008671-k0vda7fy.txt	./txt/cord-008671-k0vda7fy.txt
