Rotavirus Stimulates Secretion of Interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) in Children with Gastroenteritis

Forty patients were diagnosed with rotavirus in children with acute diarrhea using the agglutination test. ELISA was used to compare the immunologic evaluation of the IL-1β in 40 kids with severe diarrhea and 40 in the healthy group. The results indicated that there was no significant difference between those with diarrhea and the control group.
