3 Rotavirus Gastroenteritis (RVGE) Is a Potentially Serious Disease Rotavirus disease can be severe especially for: Infants 1 Immunocompromised patients1 Most cases are mild but severity is unpredictable 2,3 A mild case can rapidly become severe and life threatening 2 Symptoms : Forceful vomiting 3, profuse diarrhoea 1,fever 3 Most frequent complications include: Severe dehydration (isotonic or hypertonic) 1,4 Others : Seizure 4; Electrolyte imbalance 4 1.

4 Clinical Manifestations Symptoms include Vomiting Can be Click more to frequent, edit Master longer duration title than stylewith other pathogens Diarrhea Can range from mild and limited duration to bowel movements/day Duration can be longer than with other gastroenteritisassociated pathogens Stools generally non-bloody, no fecal leukocytes Fever Average duration GI symptoms approximately 3-7 days Most severe disease typically occurs in children 6 24 months of age who are experiencing their first infection Management: Supportive Care: replacement of fluid & electrolyte loss IV hydration may be necessary

5 Rotavirus Transmission Fecal oral route 1 Concentration in stool: up to 100 billion particles/ml Low infectious dose: 10 plaque-forming units/ml Physically hardy virus 1 Can persist in low-humidity environment 1,2 Relevantly resistant to hand soaps and common disinfectants 1 Inactivated by high concentrations of alcohol, chlorine, or iodine 1 Can occur before and after symptoms 3 Infected persons shed large quantities of virus in their stool 2 days before to 10 days after onset of symptoms 1.

17 What is the Rationale for a Multivalent and Multidose Rotavirus Vaccine? Multivalent Predominance of individual serotypes can vary from year to year and by geographic region. 1 Immunity following primary infection is thought to be predominantly serotype specific. 2 Multidose Primary infections are usually associated with more severe disease than subsequent infections. 2 Protection against disease is thought to increase with each subsequent infection Santos N et al.

29 Rotavirus Vaccine Safety Contraindications Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome History of: severe allergic reaction to a prior dose of RV Severe allergic reaction to latex Intussuseption Some congenital GI malformations e.g. Meckel diverticulum Vaccine-vaccine interactions RV vaccines have been found not to interfere significantly with the immunogenicity or safety of other childhood vaccines However, OPV appears to have an inhibitory effect on the immune response to the first dose of RV vaccine WHO Weekly epidemiological record 2013 (8): 49-64

35 World Health Organization Recommends Rotavirus Vaccines For All Children Worldwide WHO recommends that rotavirus vaccine for infants should be included in all national immunization programmes. In countries where diarrhoeal deaths account for 10% of mortality among children aged <5 years, the introduction of the vaccine is strongly recommended. WHO reiterates that rotavirus vaccines are an important measure that can be used to reduce severe rotavirus-associated diarrhoea and child mortality. The use of rotavirus vaccines should be part of a comprehensive strategy to control diarrhoeal diseases

36 Take Home Messages Rotavirus is a major cause of severe diarrhea and vomiting under 5 years of age in Europe. RVGE is highly infectious, unavoidable and unpredictable RVGE is usually mild, but it can be severe and potentially lifethreatening RVGE causes a considerable burden on the family and health care systems 5 rotavirus serotypes are responsible for the great majority of RVGE cases in Europe
