“…Our results are corroborated by some case reports about extremely high sodium levels all in context with RV+ AGE [18,34], and the Swedish study [19] finding hypernatremia as a result of RV+ AGE in approximately 10% of cases. We have shown that hypernatremia seems to be a specific complication in rotavirus disease as opposed to other infectious diarrheal pathogens.…”
Hypernatremia is a specific complication of RV+ AGE. RV would therefore appear to be the cause of infant toxicosis, the traditional descriptive term for severe dehydration and clinical deterioration following AGE.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
