Prevalence of 10 Human Polyomaviruses in Fecal Samples from Children with Acute Gastroenteritis: a Case-Control Study

We conducted a case-control study to explore the prevalence of 10 human polyomaviruses in fecal specimens from hospitalized children with diarrhea and asymptomatic control subjects by using multiplex PCR detected by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. The differences between cases and controls were not statistically significant.
