Health Care–Associated Rotavirus Illness in Pediatric Inpatients in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 June 2016
Abstract
A longitudinal study of health care-associated transmission of rotaviruses (RVs) in pediatric inpatients 0-48 months old in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland showed that almost one third of all cases occurred in patients 2 months old or younger. The effectiveness of vaccination against RV from 2 months of age onward remains to be evaluated.
