Abstract
in English, German

In 72 faecal extracts examined from babies and infants with an acute gastroenteritis, virus particles were found in 29 cases. These particles could be classified as reovirus-like in 16 cases, coronaviruses in 11 cases and adenoviruses in 2 cases. The electron microscopic investigation of 11 faecal extracts from healthy babies did not show any of these particles. Comparative studies on the concentration methods were performed.

Bei elektronenmikroskopischer Direktuntersuchung von 72 Stuhlproben von Säuglingen und Kleinkindern mit akuter Gastroenteritis konnten in 29 Stuhlproben Viruspartikel nachgewiesen werden, die entweder als Reovirus-ähnlich (16 Stuhlproben), als Coronavirus (11 Stuhlproben) oder als Adenovirus (2 Stuhlproben) eingeordnet werden konnten. Die elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchung von 11 Stuhlproben gesunder Säuglinge zeigte diese Viruspartikel nicht. Zur Untersuchungsmethode werden vergleichende Untersuchungen angestellt.
