OBJECTIVE To detect the changes in young children,with diarrhea including rotavirus A antigens in stool specimens,serum myocardial enzymes,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and alteration of intestinal flora.METHODS Rotavirus A antigens in stool specimens were detected by immunologic colloidal gold,serum myocardial enzymes were measured by full automatic analyzer,hs-CRP level of serum specimens was measured by gold labeled test,and alteration of intestinal flora was also analyzed.The same method was also applied in control group.RESULTS Among 234 diarrhear cases of young children,124 cases with positive rotavirus A antigens appeared the high level of serum myocardial enzyme and hs-CRP compared with the control group.Candida albicans from stool specimens was detected in 45 cases with positive rotavirus A.CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that rotavirus A can cause gastrointestinal tract infection in young children,lead in alteration of intestinal flora,damage myocardium and lead to high level of hs-CRP.All these laboratory results are significant for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
