Resumo: | During June 1997-June 1999 rotavirus infection was screened in infants aged up to 2 years and hospitalised with acute diarrhoea in São Luís, Northeastern Brazil. Altogether, 128 stool samples were collected from diarrhoeic patients and additional 122 faecal specimens from age- and- temporal matched inpatients without diarrhoea were obtained; rotavirus positivity rates for these groups were 32.0% (41/128) and 9.8% (12/122), respectively (p < 0.001). Both electropherotyping and serotyping could be performed in 42 (79.2%) of the 53 rotavirus-positive stool samples. Long and short electropherotypes were detected at similar rates - 38.1% and 40.5% of specimens, respectively. Overall, a G serotype could be assigned for 35 (83.3%) of specimens, the majority of them (66.7%) bearing G1-serotype specificity. Taking both electropherotypes and serotypes together, G1 rotavirus strains displaying long and short RNA patterns accounted for 30.9% and 19.0% of tested specimens, respectively; all G2 strains had short electropherotype. Rotavirus gastroenteritis was detected year-round and, in 1998, the incidence rates tended to be higher during the second semester than in the first semester: 45.2% and 26.1% (p = 0.13), respectively. Rotavirus infections peaked at the second semester of life with frequencies of 30.1% and 13.5% for diarrhoeic children and controls, respectively. While the six rotavirus strains bearing G2-type specificity were circulating throughout the whole study period, G1 serotypes (n = 27) emerged as from June 1998 onwards, 20 (74.1%) of which clustering in 1998. These data underscore the importance of rotaviruses in the aetiology of severe infantile gastroenteritis in Northeastern Brazil and sustain the concept that a future vaccine should confer protection against more than one serotype. |

De junho de 1997 a junho de 1999, pesquisou-se a infecção por rotavírus entre crianças até 2 anos de idade internadas com quadro diarréico agudo em São Luís, nordeste do Brasil. Coletaram-se 128 espécimes fecais oriundos de pacientes diarréicos. Paralelamente, obtiveram-se 122 amostras de um contingente caracterizado como controle, comparável ao anterior no tocante às idades e distribuição temporal. As freqüências de positividade para rotavírus alcançaram 32,0% (41/128) e 9,8% (12/122), respectivamente (p < 0,001). Procedeu-se à determinação dos sorotipos e eletroferotipos dos rotavírus em 42 (79,2%) das 53 amostras reativas para rotavírus. Identificaram-se eletroferotipos "longo" e "curto" em freqüências similares - 38,1% e 40,5%, respectivamente. De um modo geral, caracterizou-se o sorotipo G em 35 (83,3%) das amostras positivas, a maioria, revelando especificidade para o tipo G1. Considerando o conjunto dos eletroferotipos e sorotipos, rotavírus classificados como G1 exibiram padrões eletroforéticos "longo" e "curto" nas freqüências de 30,9% e 19%, respectivamente. Todos os rotavírus do tipo G2 apresentaram eletroferotipo de configuração "curta". No tocante ao perfil temporal, observou-se que as gastroenterites por rotavírus naquela região ocorrem ao longo de todo o ano, denotando-se tendência quanto à mais expressiva concentração no segundo semestre de vida das crianças, se comparado ao primeiro; em síntese, 45,2% e 26,1% (p = 0,13), respectivamente. As infecções por rotavírus configuraram picos quanto à distribuição durante o segundo semestre de vida, com freqüências de 30,1% e 13,5%, respectivamente. Aqueles do tipo G2 circularam durante todo o período de estudo, enquanto o sorotipo G1 (n = 27) emergiu a partir de junho de 1998. Aliás, detectaram-se 20 (74,1%) das amostras virais com essa última especificidade ao longo de 1998. Os dados acima sustentam a importância dos rotavírus na etiologia das gastroenterites graves no nordeste brasileiro e consubstanciam o conceito de que uma futura vacina contra esses enteropatógenos necessariamente deve conferir proteção frente aos múltiplos sorotipos circulantes.
