 This hospital-based surveillance study examined the relationship between the severity of diarrhea and various G-group rotoviruses circulating in India among children aged under five years. Of the stool samples tested for rotovirus antigen, 26.4% were positive for VP6 antigen. Single serotype infections from 377 stool samples showed that G1 infection was associated with very severe diarrhea in 33.9%, severe diarrhea in 59.8%, moderate diarrhea in 6.3% and mild diarrhea in 0-5%. Similarly, G2 infection was associated with very severe diarrhea in 27.4%, severe diarrhea in 48.4% and moderate and mild diarrhea in 24.2%. G9 infection was associated with very severe diarrhea in 54.5%, severe diarrhea in 33.6% and moderate and mild diarrhea in 11.9%. G12 infection was associated with very severe diarrhea in 40.9% and severe diarrhea in 59.1%. Overall, the study suggests some association between rotovirus serotypes and severity of gastroenteritis.
