ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study was performed to determine the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of nosocomial rotavirus gastroenteritis.METHODS:
We retrospectively analyzed 628 medical records of patients with rotavirus gastroenteritis between 2001 and 2005. The patients were divided into two groups (the community-acquired group [528 cases] and the nosocomial group [100 cases]. The epidemiologic and clinical indices between the groups were analysed. For clinical comparison, 100 age- matched cases were selected from the community-acquired group.RESULTS:
The male-to-female ratio was similar (1.41 vs. 1.51), but the mean age was lower in the nosocomial group compared to the community-acquired group (21.9+/-15.5 months vs. 16.6+/-10.3 months, P20 mg/dL were more in the community-acquired group (16% vs. 4%, P=0.01).CONCLUSION:
The clinical and epidemiologic charateristics of nosocomial rotavirus gastroenteritis were similar and correlated to those of the community-acquired gastroenteritis.Key words
