Gender and season with highest isolation or detection rate were noted. Age group with highest isolation or detection rate (range of ages included in the study). M: month. Y: year. Incidence: expressed as percentage (total number of cases). *Outbreak. ^Pediatric studies. &Traveler’s diarrhea. #HIV patients with diarrhea. If multiple methods were used for detection, the higher detection rate is noted. Studies of sample size less than 10 were excluded. EIA: enzyme immunochromatographic assay. PCR: polymerase chain reaction. rtPCR: real-time polymerase chain reaction.
