Rotavirus Infection

Rotavirus is a double-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Reoviridae family. It is one of the main pathogens that cause diarrhea in infants and young children. Almost every child about five years old in the world has been infected with rotavirus at least once. Rotavirus mainly infects the epithelial cells of the small intestine, causing cell damage and diarrhea. Rotavirus infections range from asymptomatic, mild to severe, with fatal gastroenteritis, dehydration and electrolyte imbalance in severe cases. Rotavirus is transmitted through the fecal-oral route, and is prevalent in winter and spring. Good hygiene and vaccination are the best ways to prevent rotavirus infection.

Diagnosis of Rotavirus Infection

Rotavirus infection is usually diagnosed after the diagnosis of gastroenteritis and severe diarrhea. The majority of pediatric patients who enter the hospital with gastroenteritis have been tested positive for rotavirus A. The special diagnostic method for rotavirus A infection is to use the enzyme-linked immunoassay to identify the virus in the patient's feces.

Other test methods, such as electron microscopy or gel electrophoresis, are used in research laboratories. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) can detect and identify all species and serotypes of human rotavirus.
