Although acute gastroenteritis (AGE) has been reported as a common infectious disease in children, there is scarce
information about enterovirus (EV) circulating associated with AGE cases in Brazil. The purpose of the present study
was to identify and characterize the enteroviruses associated with AGE in children in Belém, Brazil. A total of 175 stool
samples were obtained from children hospitalized revealing the presence of EV in 26.3% (46/175) of infections. EV
type was identifed in 78.3% (36/46) and EV-B species (61.1%; 22/36) was the most prevalent EV-detected followed by
EV-C (25%; 9/36) and EV-A (13.9%; 5/36). This study has provided important information about the enterovirus circulation in Pará state, Northern Brazil.
