Symptomatic Control

AbstractHuman rotavirus (HRV) epidemics have not been reported in normal full-term newborn nurseries in the US. This report describes an epidemic from April 27 to May 6, 1982 in which 23 infants were infected. Diagnosis was confirmed with Rotazyme (Abbott) in 82% (23/28 ) of the neonates screened. Five were asymptomatic; in the remaining 18 cases, the symptoms were usually mild and self-limited. Transient shedding of the virus was found in 8% (4/52) of personnel screened, and only one of them was symptomatic. Control measures included the following: strict cohorting, closure of transitional nursery, enteric precautions and wiping of horizontal surfaces with 95% ethyl alcohol which has been shown to be an effective virucidal agent for rotavirus in laboratories. Follow-up in 80 of 108 contact neonates born during the epidemic showed only two mildly symptomatic cases after discharge. During an 11-month period of surveillance, 33% of neonates (1,688/5,054) born at Cook County Hospital were screened for excretion of virus in stools; only 3.6% of infants (61/1,688) were positive by Rotazyme and none were symptomatic. This report suggests that strict measures are helpful in control of HRV epidemic gastroenteritis and asymptomatic shedding need not be as high as the previously reported incidence of 40% to 50%.

Letter To The Editor

To the Editor.— I am writing with a correction concerning the recently published Letter to the Editor,1 challenging George Graham's commentary on poverty and malnutrition.2 Readers may be confused by mention of Dr Lattimer in Dr Graham's reply,3 as Dr Lattimer's name is not among the signers whose names appear under the challenge letter. This is because the names of seven signers were somehow omitted. The omitted signatures were those of Agnes D. Lattimer, MD, Myrtis Sullivan, MD, Kinfe Gebeyehu, MD, Parviz Danesh, MD, Naomi Kistin, MD (all from Cook County Hospital), Frank K. Thorp, MD, PhD (University of Chicao/Wyler Child's Hospital), Yolanda Hall, RD (Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center).
