To determine the proportion and clinical profile of rotavirus associated diarrhea in children aged 6 months to 5 years.
Clinical details and stool samples were collected from 254 children aged between 6 months to 5 years presenting with acute diarrhea, irrespective of hydration status, to the outpatient department or emergency room of a hospital in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Rotavirus accounted for 26.3% (51 of 194) of diarrhea cases overall, and 41.2% (14 of 34) in hospitalized children. Rotavirus infection was associated with significantly longer duration [3.3 (1.4) d vs. 2.5 (1.1) d; P=0.004) of diarrhea, and more chances of dehydration (OR 1.85; 95% CI 1.19, 3.57) as compared to non-rotavirus diarrhea.
Rotavirus is a common cause of acute diarrhea in under-five children, and is associated with a longer duration and more chances of dehydration than non-rotavirus diarrhea.
确定6个月至5岁儿童轮状病毒相关性腹泻的比例及临床特征。
收集印度北方邦密鲁特市一家医院门诊或急诊室254名6个月至5岁急性腹泻儿童的临床详细资料和粪便样本，无论其脱水状态如何。
轮状病毒占腹泻病例总数的26.3%（194例中的51例），在住院儿童中占41.2%（34例中的14例）。与非轮状病毒腹泻相比，轮状病毒感染导致腹泻持续时间显著更长[3.3（1.4）天对2.5（1.1）天；P = 0.004]，脱水几率更高（比值比为1.85；95%可信区间为1.19，3.57）。
轮状病毒是5岁以下儿童急性腹泻的常见病因，与非轮状病毒腹泻相比，腹泻持续时间更长，脱水几率更高。
