Özet

BACKGROUND: Viral gastroenteritides are among the causes of higher morbidity and mortality in the childhood period, especially in infants. Although viral-induced diarrheal diseases are important problems in Erzurum, there have been no studies on the molecular prevalence of viral gastroenteritis agents in this region's children. The aim of the prospective study is to determine the molecular prevalence of the most commonly seen viral etiologic agents and their coinfection rates in children under 5 years of age with gastroenteritis in Erzurum, Turkey.
