Rotavirus

Effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccine in New Zealand infants between 8 weeks and three years old Abstract Background. Rotavirus is a gastrointestinal illness characterized by vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach ache and a fever. Children less than three years old are particularly at risk of dehydration from the sudden vomiting and diarrhoea, which can require hospitalisation. A vaccine against rotavirus was recommended globally by WHO in 2009, and it has recently been approved into the New Zealand immunisation

A Child’s Battle with Rotavirus: 1999 Drawback through 2006 Draw Out According to the research of the American Academy of Pediatrics in their official Pediatric journal, one term defines a whole field of the relationship exchange between the child and his or her pediatrician. A “medical home” was once used to conclude all the medical information about a patient, but nowadays can be delineated a“ partnership approach with families to provide primary health care that is assessable, family centered

The “Cost-effectiveness Analysis of a Rotavirus Immunization Program for the United States” was designed to estimate the economic impact of a national rotavirus immunization program. The research question and objective of the analysis was to determine if a rotavirus vaccine immunization program would be beneficial and cost effective. The study is policy relevant because it will determine if a rotavirus vaccine immunization program is effective enough for implementation and will assist in setting

The “Cost-effectiveness Analysis of a Rotavirus Immunization Program for the United States” article was performed to estimate the economic impact of a national rotavirus immunization program. The research question being addressed is if the implementation of a rotavirus vaccine program would be beneficial and cost effective. These are policy relevant questions because it will determine if a rotavirus vaccine program will be cost effective and valuable enough to employ. These research questions are

Rotavirus is commonly spread from person-to-person. It is highly contagious and passes easily through the fecal-oral route by way of contact with contaminated hands or objects, such as toys and surfaces, through tainted food or water, in respiratory droplets or on water contaminated with feces. Infected children begin to shed rotavirus in their stools 76 before the onset of symptoms and can excrete up to 1011 rotavirus particles per gram of fecal matter, much more than the number of 100 particles

with results of Magzoub et al,and Ansam (2017).Studies world wide have reported that the most vulnerable age group to rotavirus infection is under 2 years of age with highst prevalence between (6-12)months of age (Junaid et al.,2011).And agreement with DeDonne et al.(2013) who confirm that most of Rota virus cases were identified in the age group ( 0- 24 months),in particular

By their fifth birthday, almost all children have been infected by rotavirus. Annually, rotaviruses cause approximately 111 million incidences of gastroenteritis in children, 2 million hospitalisations, and between 352,000 and 592,000 deaths.1 Gastroenteritis is an acute inflammation of the stomach and intestines and it has a significant impact on childhood mortality and morbidity worldwide. It is caused by rotavirus, which after infecting the lining of the intestines, triggers severe diarrhoea

Introduction The World Health Organization (WHO) describes diarrheal disease as the second leading cause of mortality in children under five years old, accounting for around 760000 deaths of children every year (Lweendo, 2010). Diarrhea is usually transmitted through the faecal-oral route. From the public health perspectives, contact with human excreta due to improper faecal disposal, poor hygiene in terms of hand washing to mention a few are the most potential risk factors. It has been documented

Should Vaccines Be Required For Children? All living things on this earth are subject to attack from a disease-causing agent. Therefore, multicellular animals have dedicated cells and tissues that fight off infectious microbes in order to build immunity. A multitude of specialized cells carries out much of the immune system’s work. Each of these cells is intended to fight off diseases in a particular way. Vaccination, which is one of the methods that is used to prevent germs from proliferating

This journal article reports about rotavirus vaccination in terms of kinds of it and its performances. There are many types of childhood disease. One of them is rotavirus. The reason why children suffer from this disease rather than adults is that they have weaker immune systems. Rotavirus is transmitted through various ways such as unclean hands or impure water. Before rotavirus vaccination, many infants used to die from this. However, this is one of the most common causes of preventable childhood
