Rotavirus enteritis, a common diarrheal disease in infants and children in the fall and winter. It is caused by human rotavirus. It can be transmitted by contact and non-contact means (air).
The stool is dilute and watery or egg-flour-like. Stool tests for rotavirus can be positive. Some children may have runny nose and fever. Even some babies appear vomiting first, and when it is too frequent, attention should be paid to ultrasound – except for intussusception!
The disease can be prevented by oral rotavirus vaccine. The vaccine is more expensive, but it is still cost-effective compared to the cost of the infusion, the baby’s pain, and the parents’ missed work. One point of prevention is worth twelve points of treatment.
