Rotavirus antigen was revealed in stool samples in 1496 of 7372 (20,3%) children 0-5 years old with acute gastroenteritis, hospitalized in Minsk children infectious disease hospital in 2012. Proportion of children under 2 years old among infected with rotavirus was 70,7%. Incidence rate of hospitalized cases per 1000 children 0-5 years old was 10,8; the highest incident rate was among children before 1 year old and 1 year old (20,0 per 1000 and 17,0 html5-dom-document-internal-entity2-237-endhtml5-dom-document-internal-entity2-224-end 1000, accordingly). Rotavirus gastroenteritis was revealed all year round, more frequently from January till May, when 1052 from 1496 (70,0%) cases were confirmed. Rotaviruses of five genotypes determined the incidence: G4P[8] (55,4%), G3P[8] (21,5%), G1P[8] (12,3%), G2P[4] (6,2%) html5-dom-document-internal-entity2-232-end G9P[8] (4,6%). All five genotypes contributed to seasonal increase of inci dence, in the interseasonal period mainly viruses of G4P[8] and G1P[8 genotypes circulated.
