Biostatistics and Epidemiology
Biostatistics and Epidemiology

Original Research
The etiology of acute diarrhea was studied in 915 children under 5 years
of age between March 1986 and August 1987, in 7 hospitals in Tehran. 65
healthy children in similar age groups served as controls. Rotavirus was
found in 25% of the patients and 1.5% of controls with the highest detection
rate occurring in the 7-24 month age group (28%) and declining beyond 25
months of age (5%). The infection rate was also high (19%) in the first 6
months of life and breast feeding was not protective. The rate of rotavirus
infection was highest during the months of April and May (30% and 37%
respectively) and lowest during December and January (7%).
