Rotavirus diarrhea is a common disease in infants and young children caused by rotavirus infection, and autumn and winter are its high incidence period. Almost every baby has been infected with rotavirus before the age of 3-5. According to WHO statistics, in 2013, about 220,000 children under the age of 5 worldwide died of rotavirus, which is the second leading cause of child death.
Rotavirus particles under electron microscope
In my country, rotavirus diarrhea is affiliated with other infectious diarrhea of Class C statutory infectious diseases. Judging from the age distribution of rotavirus diarrhea in my country, more than 1/4 of occurs within 6 months of age, and 90% occurs before the age of 2 years old. Among 5-year-old children, at least one-third of diarrhea cases (36.7%) are caused by rotavirus infection. G1, G2, G3, G4, and G9 accounted for 98.6% of the G serotypes of rotavirus in children aged ≤5 years old in my country from 2009 to 2015. The World Health Organization WHO recommends that the baby should be vaccinated with rotavirus as early as possible starting at 6 weeks of age to ensure protection before the first infection.
Symptoms of a baby after being infected with rotavirus
After being infected with rotavirus, the baby will vomit, burn and diarrhea. Generally, vomiting and fever first, followed by diarrhea, the poop is watery or egg-like, without blood, which may be as high as more than ten times a day. Some babies vomit and have severe diarrhea and lose too much body moisture but do not receive timely replenishment. The baby will become dehydrated, and the urine will decrease, the urine will become dark yellow or brown, no tears when crying, dry mouth or rupture of lips, sunken eyes, and sunken fontanelle (in babies). This is the most serious case of rotavirus infection and you need to go to the hospital immediately. What should I do if

Although the improvement of sanitary conditions can prevent the spread of many intestinal infectious diseases, it cannot completely block the spread of rotavirus. Among all methods to prevent rotavirus infection, vaccination with rotavirus vaccine is recognized as the most effective, economical and safest preventive measures.
