Serotype G9 rotavirus infections in adults in Sweden

J Clin Microbiol. 2005 Mar;43(3):1374-6. doi: 10.1128/JCM.43.3.1374-1376.2005.

Abstract

Rotavirus is a major cause of acute gastroenteritis. By examining 1,517 stool samples collected in 2001 and 2002 from Swedish adults with acute diarrhea, rotavirus was found in 3.2%, with the emerging G9P[8] serotype being the one most commonly identified (42.9%). This is the first documentation of G9 infections in adults in Europe.
