The Epidemiology Of Rotavirus Diarrhea In The United States: Surveillance And Estimates Of Disease Burden

The decision to develop rotavirus vaccines was predicated on the extensive burden of rotavirus disease among children worldwide. US reports on nationwide hospitalizations (1979–1992) and deaths (1968–1991) due to diarrhea and weekly reports of rotavirus infection by 74 laboratories were reviewed to...

Zusammenfassung:The decision to develop rotavirus vaccines was predicated on the extensive burden of rotavirus disease among children worldwide. US reports on nationwide hospitalizations (1979–1992) and deaths (1968–1991) due to diarrhea and weekly reports of rotavirus infection by 74 laboratories were reviewed to estimate the burden of rotavirus disease, identify epidemiologic trends, and consider methods for evaluating an immunization program when a vaccine becomes available. From 1968 to 1985, diarrhea-related deaths among US children
