Recurrent attack of rotavirus gastroenteritis after adenovirus-induced diarrhoea.

Abstract

A 14-month-old baby boy suffered a second attack of rotavirus gastroenteritis within one month of the initial one. The second attack followed a diarrhoeal episode associated with adenovirus. Gastrointestinal symptoms in the second attack were more severe than those of the first. The adenovirus-associated enteritis was mild compared with the illness in both episodes of rotavirus infection.
