Comparison of Rotazyme and direct electron microscopy for detection of rotavirus in human stools.

RESUMO
A total of 115 stools were examined for Rotavirus, using direct electron microscopy (EM) and Rotazyme. The overall agreement was 88.7%. Of the negative results, there was 91.95% agreement. Rotazyme reactions of three-plus or more gave a 100% agreement with EM. The Rotazyme test is a useful diagnostic aid in laboratories not capable of performing EM.
