Abstract
A total of 115 stools were examined for rotavirus, using direct EM and Rotazyme. The overall agreement was 88.7%. Of the negative results, there was 91.95% agreement. Rotazyme reactions of .gtoreq. 3-plus gave a 100% agreement with EM. The Rotazyme test is a useful diagnostic aid in laboratories not capable of performing EM.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
