Stool samples used in this study were collected from 130 randomly selected children with acute gastroenteritis of age ranging from 6 months to 5 years for both sexes were admitted to Babylon maternity and children’s Hospital and some of primary health centers during the interval extended from June to November 2019, in Babylon Governorate, Iraq. All these 130 samples were exposed to two diagnostic methods, including the rapid Chromatographic Immunoassay test and ELISA technique for identification of Rotavirus, Norovirus and Astrovirusantigens. The results of the rapid Chromatographic Immunoassay test revealed that Rotavirus isolates were observed in that 16 (12.3%) out of 130 samples, Norovirus isolates were 1 (0.8%) and Astrovirus isolates were 0 (0%) out of 130 samples. ELISA technique was utilized as a confirmation test and the results demonstrated that the identifying Rotavirus isolates were 18 (13.8%) out of 130 samples, followed by Norovirus isolates 4 (3.1%) and none of the 130 stool samples examined were positive for Astrovirus. On the other hand, the percentage of viral gastroenteritis infection caused by Rotavirus and Norovirus was more in male (72.7%) than in female (27.3%). Likewise, the results indicated that the most viral infections (Rotavirus and Norovirus) were caused in the age between 6–24 months at percent (77.3%), while the peak incidence of the viral infection in children (45.5%) was between 6 – 12 months of age. Furthermore, the results showed that the ratio of acute gastroenteritis infection caused by Rotavirus and Norovirus was higher in the rural area (63.6%) than in the urban area (36.4%).
