Clinical characterictics and the severity of gastroenteritis caused by rotavirus at the women and children hospital of An Giang
Main Article Content
Abstract
Gastroenteritis (GE) caused by rotavirus is commonly seen in children. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics and the severity of GE caused by rotavirus. A retrospective case-control study including 309 cases of rotavirus-positive gastroenteritis (RPG) and 295 control cases of rotavirus-negative gatroenteritis (RNG) were conducted at the Pediatric wards of the Women and Children Hospital of An Giang. There were 309 cases of RPG, median age 11 (2 - 27) months, male accounted for 64.4% . The clinical manifestations of RPG and RNG were fever (34.3% versus 25.1%; P = 0.021), vomit (62.1% vs 52.8%; P = 0.021), diarrhea (8.4 ± 4.0 vs 7.5 ± 3.6 times/day; P < 0.001), convulsions (5.8% vs 2.4%, P = 0.035) and dehydration (46.8% vs 22.7%; P <0.001). The severity score for RPG (13.1 ± 2.9) was higher than the severity score for RNG (12.6 ± 2.9) (P = 0.041). Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of RPG in children are more severe than the RNG. Children with RPG have a higher Vesikari severity score than RNG.
