Distribution of human rotavirus G types circulating in Paris, France, during the 1997-1998 epidemic: high prevalence of type G4

Abstract

Group A human rotavirus G genotypes were determined by means of reverse transcription-PCR in 170 stool specimens from children with acute diarrhea admitted to a Paris children's hospital during a 1-year survey (1997 to 1998). The isolates all belonged to types G1 to G4, with type G4 predominating (60%).
