Atypical human rotaviruses in Hungary

Summary Of 105 human rotaviruses, two atypical, antigenically distinct rotaviruses (pararotaviruses) were isolated in Hungary. A 4-year old boy and a 3½-year old girl, both with gastroenteritis, vomiting and moderate fever, shed these viruses. Electrophoretic patterns of viral RNA extracted from the two faecal specimens appeared to be related to patterns of group C rotaviruses.
