Rotavirus P[8] Infections in Persons with Secretor and Nonsecretor Phenotypes, Tunisia

Abstract

To determine whether rotavirus infections are linked to se-cretor status, we studied samples from children in Tunisia with gastroenteritis. We phenotyped saliva for human blood group antigens and tested feces for rotavirus. Rotavirus was detected in 32/114 patients. Secretor genotyping showed that P[8] rotavirus infected secretors and nonsecretors, and infection correlated with presence of Lewis antigen.
