ON THE STUDY OF ROTAVIRUS IN VLADIVOSTOK
Abstract
The paper concerns the problems of rotavirus in Vladivostok in 1993—2004 and provides data on its sickness rate, endemicity, twoor three-year recurrence, and evident tendency towards increase. Two upsurges in the sickness rate registered in August-January and March-May were an evidence of the seasonality of this disease. The high-risk groups comprised babies under one year and one-year-old or two-year-old kids as members of organised groups. Rotavirus circulation was registered among people suffering from acute enteric infections, reconvalescent persons (those who survived rotavirus), contact persons, and healthy population. Virological examination confirmed that the infection might be a result of drinking of fresh tap water or well water, bathing in the recreation water reservoirs, and eating of melons and gourds. Based on the analysis of this flash morbidity, it should be mentioned that the non-percutaneous channel of this infection and domestic transmission of this infection prevailed in the children's organised groups and in-patient departments.
