Abstract

Fastidious adenovirus DNA in faecal samples obtained from children with acute gastroenteritis was extracted by a simple and rapid method. The extracted viral DNA was characterized by restriction endonuclease SmaI treatment. Fastidious adenovirus DNA was detected in 58 of 65 cases. If faecal samples were too small it was not always possible to identify virus DNA.
