Abstract:
Introduction:Diarrhea is defined as a person excretes more than three times in 24 hours with pathological impurities of more than 10 mg/kg per day. According to the fact sheets of the World Health Organization in 2019, diarrhea is the second leading cause of death among children under 5 years of age. Researchers suggest that about 50 percent of infantile diarrhea occurs in temperate countries and it reaches almost 80 percent in winter which is mainly caused by rotavirus. While immunization is the most effective way to prevent rotavirus infection, there were two types of rotavirus vaccines that have been licensed and available on the global market since 2006. Rotavirus immunization in young children is a safe and effective public health method for controlling rotavirus infection which therefore can reduce childhood morbidity and mortality.
Study aim:To study the incidence, clinical manifestations, and complications of rotavirus among children hospitalized with acute diarrhea.
Methodology:The study will be conducted using the observational method including descriptive analysis. Statistical data for 2018-2020 will be obtained and analyzed from the pediatric wards of the “Gurvan Gal” hospital. Children diagnosed with rotavirus diarrhea who meet the criteria to be included in the study will be selectively sampled with further analysis of the incidence, clinical features, toxicity, and dehydration of acute diarrhea according to the medical history.
Results:Universal immunization is important to significantly reduce rotavirus-associated diarrhea, thereby reducing infection and the risk of disease in infants and young children.
