A M Abbas, M D Denton.   

Abstract

We describe an outbreak of rotavirus infection in a geriatric hospital. The outbreak lasted for 6 weeks, and affected 14 patients of 68 at risk. Diarrhoea was the main symptom, lasting only 1 day in most patients. Rising or high rotavirus antibody titres were demonstrated in six patients. Of 96 staff only one member was infected.
