RESUMO
The level of neutralizing antibodies to rotaviruses belonging to serotypes 1, 3, and 4 was determined in acute- and convalescent-phase sera from 36 Mexican children with rotaviral diarrhea. Most of the infants who seroconverted fell into one of the following three patterns: single seroconversion to serotype 1; seroconversion to serotypes 1 and 4; or seroconversion to all three serotypes tested. The heterotypic neutralizing antibody responses to rotavirus infections are discussed.
