Tubular structures associated with acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis in young children.

Abstract

We clearly demonstrated a fine morphology of the tumbular structures antigenically related to the reovirus-like particles associated with acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis in young children. The tubular structures with a caplike structure on each end seemed to be complete forms, 75 to 80 nm in width and approximately 1,000 nm in length.
