Rotavirus in nasopharyngeal secretions of children with upper respiratory tract infections

M Fragoso et al. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis. 1986 Jan.

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal secretions from 30 infants and children presenting with respiratory tract infection, were tested for rotavirus antigen. Two of 30 children with signs and symptoms of seromucoid nasal secretions, cough, and low grade fever were positive for the antigen. Nasopharyngeal secretions may play a role in the spread of this infection.
