Acute viral gastroenteritis is a major health issue worldwide and is associated with high annual mortality, particularly in children of developing countries. Rotaviruses, caliciviruses and astroviruses are the main causes. Accurate diagnoses are possible by recently developed molecular techniques. In many setups, zoonotic transmission is an important epidemiological factor. Treatment consists of rehydration and is otherwise symptomatic. The worldwide introduction of universal rotavirus vaccination of infants has significantly reduced rotavirus disease and mortality.
急性病毒性肠胃炎是一个全球性的重大健康问题,每年导致的死亡率很高,尤其是在发展中国家的儿童中。轮状病毒、杯状病毒和星状病毒是主要病因。通过最近开发的分子技术可以进行准确诊断。在许多情况下,人畜共患病传播是一个重要的流行病学因素。治疗包括补液,其他则是对症治疗。全球范围内对婴儿普遍接种轮状病毒疫苗已显著降低了轮状病毒疾病和死亡率。
