Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: Viral gastroenteritis is an important clinical problem. This disease is common in many developing countries and becomes important considerations in tropical pediatrics. Of several diseases, enteric adenovirus-associated acute gastroenteritis is an important disease. The effect of meteorological factors on the disease is an interesting issue. The effect of rainfall and temperature is well mentioned. Materials and Methods: Here, the authors reviewed publicly accessible data on the annual detection rate of acute gastroenteritis caused by an enteric adenovirus in pediatric patients in an Indochina nation. The relationship with sunlight intensity, an important meteorological factor, is assessed. Results: The detection rate of enteric adenovirus-associated acute gastroenteritis in pediatric patients is nonsignificantly positively related to average annual sunlight intensity (r = 0.138). Conclusion: The association between annual detection rate of enteric adenovirus-associated acute gastroenteritis in pediatric patients and average sunlight intensity is detected.
