Rotavirus intestinal infection in children, infants: basic information

Rotavirus infection is an acute disease provoked by a child or an adult rotavirus in the body of the reforuses family.

2. There are several types of rotavirus immunity to one of them does not protect from the other.
   Rotavirus contains RNA. Finding into the body, it affects the cells of the intestinal mucosa layer, in particular, thin.
3. This causative agent of the infectious disease has a rounded shape, it has a clearly defined rim and several short spokes. The name of the Rotavirus infectious agent is obliged to exactly its appearance - "ROTA" from the Latin language is translated as "Wheel". Surprisingly, many people far from medicine believe that they associate the name of the virus with the way it gets into the body and think that it happens from the word "mouth."
4. Rotavirus is the greatest danger for children from 6 months to 2 years. He is always a reason for calling a doctor, very often - for hospitalization, often, unfortunately, despite the existence of the vaccine, has a fatal outcome.

At the age of 6 months - 2 years, children show special activity, receive lures or feed from the "adult" table, while complying with hygiene by 100 percent does not always work. That is why it is most often about them for the first time.

Finding into the body of a child, the virus enters the intestines and attacks the cells of its mucosa for 1-5 days. It is so much the incubation period of rotavirus infection lasts. Then takes her bright start.

The temperature of 38 degrees is reduced by ibuprofen and paracetamol anti-infires. But doctors recommend to give these drugs only if the child takes this temperature badly.

But it is necessary to eat because with rotavirus, most of the intestines continue to perform their digestive function, and the nutrients are needed by the body of a child to deal with the disease.
