We aimed to determine the epidemiology and burden of rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) in children requiring hospital care in an urban setting in Sabah, Malaysia. A prospective study of all patients younger than 12 years of age admitted with acute GE to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Sabah, over a six-month period (October 2005 to March 2006) was conducted. During the study period, a total of 167 children with acute GE who had stool samples examined for RV were studied. RV accounted for 16% of all diarrhoeal cases, and 1.7% of all admissions to the children's wards during the study period. There was no difference in severity of GE between RV and non-RV groups. RV infection is a common cause of childhood GE requiring hospital care in Sabah. |
