Rotavirus

Queensland Health

| Description: |
Rotaviruses are a group of viruses that can cause severe viral gastroenteritis in infants and young children. They cause about half of all hospitalised cases of gastroenteritis in children less than five years of age. In temperate climates, rotavirus diarrhoea occurs in seasonal peaks during cooler months; in tropical climates, cases occur throughout the year, often with a moderate peak in the cooler dry months. Onset is usually sudden, and the illness mainly affects infants and young children up to three years of age. Outbreaks can occur among children in day care settings.
