Rotavirus diarrhea

When many parents are giving their children vaccinations, the staff at the epidemic prevention station will recommend a vaccination of their own choice to the parents, which is to prevent rotavirus diarrhea. The staff will carefully explain to the parents the origin of rotavirus and the symptoms of diarrhea caused by it. At this time, some parents cannot resist the explanation and ask for vaccination to prevent rotavirus diarrhea. In fact, sometimes, paying attention in life is more effective than vaccination.

If you want to stay away from rotavirus diarrhea, you need to understand the cause of rotavirus and avoid some unfavorable factors in time to reduce the chance of rotavirus diarrhea. Rotavirus diarrhea is common in children, but adults may also develop the disease, so prevention measures must be taken. Here are some of the causes:

1. Source of infection

Patients and asymptomatic carriers are the main sources of infection. There are a large number of viral particles in the patient's feces during the acute phase, and detoxification can continue for 4 to 8 days after the onset of the disease.

2. Transmission routes

It is mainly transmitted from person to person through fecal-oral or oral-oral transmission, and may also be transmitted through water contamination or the respiratory tract. Rotavirus gastroenteritis (epidemic diarrhea) in adults often occurs in watery outbreaks and can also be transmitted through daily contact.

3. Susceptible population

Common rotavirus mainly affects infants and young children, with the highest incidence rate among those aged 9 to 12 months. Adult diarrheal rotavirus is a disease that generally affects the general population, but it mainly causes epidemics among young and middle-aged people.

The above introduces the causes of rotavirus diarrhea. I hope it will be helpful to you. Rotavirus diarrhea is different from everyday diarrhea. It is contagious. Therefore, during the high incidence period of rotavirus, you must pay attention to personal hygiene, pay more attention to diet, exercise properly, and enhance your own resistance. If you want to stay away from the trouble of rotavirus diarrhea, you must be extra careful.
