A cross-sectional study was undertaken during 2012-2013 to determine the prevalence, strains and factors associated with rotavirus infection among under-5-year-old children hospitalized with acute diarrhea in Uganda. Rotaviruses were detected in 37 % (263/712) of the children. The most prevalent strains were G9P[8] (27 %, 55/204) and G12P[4] (18.6 %, 38/204). Mixed infections were detected in 22.5 % (46/204) of the children. The study suggests that consumption of raw vegetables (OR = 1.45, 95 % CI = 1.03-2.03) and family ownership of dogs (OR = 1.9, 95 % CI = 1.04-3.75) increases the risk of rotavirus infection. The study findings will be used to assess the impact of RV vaccination in Uganda.
2012年至2013年期间开展了一项横断面研究,以确定乌干达因急性腹泻住院的5岁以下儿童中轮状病毒感染的患病率、毒株及相关因素。在37%(263/712)的儿童中检测到轮状病毒。最常见的毒株是G9P[8](27%,55/204)和G12P[4](18.6%,38/204)。22.5%(46/204)的儿童检测到混合感染。该研究表明,食用生蔬菜(比值比=1.45,95%置信区间=1.03 - 2.03)和家庭养狗(比值比=1.9,95%置信区间=1.04 - 3.75)会增加轮状病毒感染风险。研究结果将用于评估乌干达轮状病毒疫苗接种的影响。
