Abstract
After introduction of rotavirus vaccine, other pathogens might become leading causes of hospitalizations for severe diarrhea among children <5 years of age. Our study in 33 hospitals in 7 countries found acute gastroenteritis accounted for most (84%) reported hospitalizations of children with diarrhea. Bloody and persistent diarrhea each accounted for <1%.
Highlights
After introduction of rotavirus vaccine, other pathogens might become leading causes of hospitalizations for severe diarrhea among children
Because of this evolving etiology of diarrhea in children, it is necessary to clarify the spectrum of clinical manifestations of diarrhea to better inform interventions and surveillance systems, in low- and middleincome countries (LMICs), where the burden of diarrhea is highest [1,2,3,4]
We report a spectrum of clinical manifestations for diarrheal illness reported in hospitalized children
Summary
After introduction of rotavirus vaccine, other pathogens might become leading causes of hospitalizations for severe diarrhea among children
