Abstract
Sixty rotavirus-positive stool specimens from children with diarrhea were classified into G and P genotypes. G typing was done by PCR and then by hybridization with G type-specific (G1 to G4) oligonucleotide probes, whereas nested PCR was performed for P typing. Thirty-nine samples could be classified into both G and P types, of which P8G1 and P4G2 (33% each) genotypes were predominant. The P6 genotype was detected in four children with diarrhea.
