Rotavirus appears to be responsible for approximately 5%-10% of all diarrheal episodes among children
aged less than 5 years in the United States, and for a much higher proportion of severe diarrheal episodes.
Rotavirus is responsible for 30%-50% of all hospitalizations for diarrheal disease among children aged less than 5 years, and more than 50% of hospitalizations for diarrheal disease during the seasonal peaks. Among children aged less than 5 years in the United States, 72% of rotavirus hospitalizations occur during the first 2 years of life, and 90% occur by age 3 years.

Rotavirus, like other viruses that cause enteritis, primarily infects the cells of the small intestinal villi, especially those cells near the tips of the villi. Because these particular cells have a role in the digestion of carbohydrates and in the intestinal absorption of fluid and electrolytes, rotavirus infections lead to malabsorption by impaired hydrolysis of carbohydrates and excessive fluid loss from the intestine. A secretory component of the diarrhea is present, with increased motility further exacerbating the illness; this increased motility appears to be secondary to virus-induced functional changes at the villus epithelium.
The pathologic changes to the intestinal lining may not correlate well with the clinical manifestations of the illness. In normal hosts, infections rarely occur in another organ system, although extraintestinal infections have been seen in immunocompromised hosts.
The virus is shed in high titers in the stool starting before the onset of symptoms and persists for up to 10 days after symptom appearance.

8. Klíník 4 mán til 2 ára börn Hiti – 40% fá 39°C

In general, viral gastroenteritis is an acute and self-limited disease that does not require pharmacologic therapy

Immunocompromised patients can develop unremitting or fatal symptoms. Factors important for clearing viral infection include an intact cellular immune system and the presence of specific neutralizing antibody [46]. In special situations, administration of immunoglobulins enterically as milk, colostrum, or specific globulin preparations may facilitate clearance of the organism [47]. The specific antiviral antibody content in such preparations required for clinical efficacy is unknown. The efficacy of lactobacillus and similar organisms is under evaluation in this clinical setting [41]. Although rotavirus infection of the liver and kidney has been documented in a few immunocompromised children, the clinical significance of this finding is unknown [48].
When to refer — The decision to refer the patient to the Emergency Department will be guided by the practitioner's experience with the treatment of severe dehydration and metabolic imbalance. There are no absolute indications for referral. Consultation should be considered for any child with viral gastroenteritis who has multisystem compromise, does not respond to therapy as expected, has multiple episodes of illness, has an underlying immunodeficiency, or has an underlying disease complicating the treatment or course of the illness (show table 1). Situations in which referral is warranted include:
Prolonged (more than seven days) diarrhea with no response to usual treatment
Severe dehydration associated with cardiovascular instability
Hypernatremic dehydration requiring a longer period of rehydration
Those potentially associated with severe complications, such as seizures, hypotonia, hematemesis or hematochezia, and anuria >12 hour duration
An immunocompromised host
