Abstract
To evaluate the prevalence of enteric viruses and their possible association with diarrhea, 244 stool samples were collected from HIV-infected and uninfected patients with or without diarrhea (subgroups I-a, Ib, II-a, and II-b, respectively). Subjects were screened by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, latex agglutination, and enzyme immunoassays for rotaviruses, adenoviruses, picobirnaviruses, and astroviruses. Enteric viruses were found significantly more often in specimens from HIV patients (20%) than in specimens from uninfected HIV patients (0%) (p < 0.05). Picobirnavirus was detected in 14.63% of 82 HIV-infected patients with diarrhea, but it was detected neither in those without diarrhea (0%) (p < 0.05) nor in the groups of uni
