Information on genotypes or variants associated with systemic rotavirus infection is lacking. Seven viraemic children with acute rotavirus diarrhoea were evaluated. All faecal strains were genotyped (5 G1P[8] type, 1 G9P[8], 1 G1-G4P[8]). Only 3 of 7 blood strains were typeable (G1P[8], G4P8, and G1P[ND]). A discrepancy between faecal and blood VP7 amino acid sequences (Ser-->Asp at position 94) was found in the...
