Description
INTRODUCTION Rotavirus is the most common cause of diarrhoea in infants and young children in both developed and developing countries (1). On a global scale, rotavirus is responsible for nearly 140 million cases of diarrhoea each year in children aged six months to two years (2,3). It is also one of the major contributors to deaths of infants and young children in developing countries (2), claiming 500,000-600,000 lives each year (4-6), and up to 85% of these deaths occur in low-income countries (4). Diarrhoea due to rotavirus in children is recognized as the leading cause of hospitalizations worldwide (7).
