The epidemiology and aetiology of diarrhoeal disease in infancy in southern Vietnam: a birth cohort study

Abstract: HighlightsThe diarrhoeal disease burden in a large, prospective infant cohort in Vietnam is defined.Minimum incidence of clinic-based diarrhoea in infants: 271/1000 infant-years.Rotavirus was most commonly identified, followed by norovirus and bacterial pathogens.Frequent repeat infections with the same pathogen within 1 year.Inclusion of rotavirus in the immunization schedule for Vietnam is warranted.

“…(39/167) in Canada, 17% (324/1856) in the Indian and 15% (21/145) in the Chilean cohorts, and 10% in Bangladesh (121/1,181), Costa Rica (5/51), and in one of the studies undertaken in Mexico(37/372) (Anders et al, 2015;Ruuska & Vesikari, 1991;Gurwith et al, 1981;Paul et al, 2014;O'Ryan et al, 2009;Simhon et al, 1985;Qadri et al, 2007;Cravioto et al, 1998). The lowest percentage of rotavirus related diarrhoea episode was recorded in Mexico, with rotavirus accounting for less than 1% (2/305) of diarrhoeal episodes in 1998 (Maldonado et al, 1998)).…”

“…In Canada, rotavirus was associated with 60% (39/65) of pathogens detected during a gastrointestinal illness (Gurwith et al, 1981). Norovirus was the second common pathogen (24%, 176/748) in the Vietnamese study (Anders et al, 2015). However, norovirus was more commonly detected (18%, 26/145) than rotavirus (15%, 21/145) in acute diarrhoea episodes in Chile (O'Ryan et al, 2009).…”
