Prospective study of community-acquired rotavirus infection.
Zheng, B J, Lo, S K, Tam, J S, Lo, M, Yeung, C Y, Ng, M H
We determined titers of group A rotavirus common antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against serotypes 1 to 4 of prototype human rotavirus (HRV) in cord blood and serum specimens obtained from 38...
Distinct populations of rotaviruses circulating among neonates and older infants.
Tam, J S, Zheng, B J, Lo, S K, Yeung, C Y, Lo, M, Ng, M H
We obtained three stool specimens from each of 371 neonates. Two specimens were obtained between days 1 and 3 after birth, while they were in the hospital, and one specimen was obtained between days...
Molecular epidemiology of human rotavirus infection in children in Hong Kong.
Tam, J S, Kum, W W, Lam, B, Yeung, C Y, Ng, M H
Rotavirus was identified in 256 (28.5%) of 899 hospitalized children with diarrhea during a 12-month period in Hong Kong. Fourteen electropherotypes were identified, and the appearance of each...
Escherichia coli associated with childhood diarrheas.
Yam, W C, Lung, M L, Yeung, C Y, Tam, J S, Ng, M H
We studied 2,246 episodes of childhood diarrhea over a 2-year period in a general hospital serving a population of about one million on the island of Hong Kong. Rotavirus (24%) and nontyphoid...
Enteric adenoviruses: detection, replication, and significance.
Retter, M, Middleton, P J, Tam, J S, Petric, M
Adenoviruses can be demonstrated readily in the stools of pediatric gastroenteritis patients by electron microscopy or counterimmunoelectrophoresis, but in 45% of these cases the virus will not grow...
Solid-phase radioimmunoassay for the detection of rotavirus.
Middleton, P J, Holdaway, M D, Petric, M, Szymanski, M T, Tam, J S
A solid-phase radioimmunoassay method has been developed for the detection of rotavirus in the form of a purified antigen and in stool. The parameters of the radioimmunoassay were examined and...
Middleton, P J, Petric, M, Hewitt, C M, Szymanski, M T, Tam, J S
A moderatley sensitive, rapid, and economical test scheme for the detection of infantile gastroenteritis virus (IGV) in stool or antibody in serum has been developed and evaluated. The test scheme...
Anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive laboratory reagents.
Murray, H G, Chan, R C, Tam, J S, Swaminathan, R, French, G L
Lapine rotavirus: preliminary studies on epizoology and transmission.
Petric, M, Middleton, P J, Grant, C, Tam, J S, Hewitt, C M
Antibody to rotavirus was found in sera of domestic rabbits, wild cottontail rabbits and Snowshoe hares. Eight out of 187 stools from a rabbitry contained rotavirus, though no clinical symptoms were...
