A total of 256 infants younger than three years, hospitalized by acute diarrhea, was studied from December 1983 to May 1984. Presence of rotavirus in their feces was demonstrated in 27.7%; in 4.3% of them, rotaviruses were associated with other agents. Vomiting followed by respiratory symptoms and fever were the main clinical symptoms observed in such patients, and in most of them diarrhea was profuse and liquid. Influence on infection by rotavirus of maternal feeding, hygienic-sanitary conditions, presence of domestic animals, and so forth, could not be demonstrated.

It was discovered by Columbus on his first voyage in 1492 and conquered by Spain in 1511. It has a varied history under Spain, Great Britain, and the United States but has been independent since 1902. The name Cuba is said to be an Indian name of unknown origin but the language that gave the name is extinct, so the etymology is a conjecture.
