Two hundred well hydrated babies of 6 weeks to 12 months of age who had been fed on formula feeds and who were admitted with acute gastroenteritis were randomly allocated to receive either a standard return to full milk feeds, or immediate full strength feeds with one of three milk formulas, HN25, SMA Gold Cap, or Formula S. There were significant differences in weight change among the four treatment groups at two and five days, with initial weight loss recorded only for the group of babies who were receiving the graded return to full feeding. There was no difference in the duration of diarrhoea after admission, nor in the time to discharge. Eighteen babies were classified as failures of treatment. None had long term complications. Well hydrated infants with acute gastroenteritis may resume full milk feeding immediately.

A fecal archive containing 115 sapovirus (SaV) strains detected in samples collected from 15 outbreaks and 98 sporadic cases of gastroenteritis between 1989 and 2004 in the UK were characterized in order to determine the genomic diversity within SaV co-circulating in the human population. Strains were characterized by partial sequencing of the genes encoding the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) region and/or the polymerase/capsid (Pol/Cap) junction of the open reading frame (Orf) 1. Overall, SaV of genogroup I genotype 1 (GI 1) were the predominant strains circulating in the UK in each year between 1989 and 2004. During 2004, GII 1 was the predominant strain. These two SaV types accounted for 89.5% of the sporadic cases and outbreaks in the UK. The remaining cases were caused by six other SaV genotypes. On the basis of partial sequencing of the RdRp and capsid encoding genes of strains, which did not show sufficient homology to any of the currently recognized genotypes, we propose the inclusion of a presumptive fourth genotype within genogroup I (GI 4).

Death Cap is one of the most lethal mushrooms in Denmark and may be mistaken for a non-toxic Asian mushroom. We report on two accidental cases admitted 12 and 17 hours after ingestion presenting with gastroenteritis and decline in liver function. The patient who arrived after 12 hours responded well to intensive treatment of liver failure and was discharged after 18 days. The other patient deteriorated in spite of intensive treatment and underwent liver transplantation. She was later discharged. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential.
