Rotavirus vaccination

Bundesgesundheitsblatt - Gesundheitsforschung - Gesundheitsschutz, 2014
Recently published pharmacoepidemiological studies associate the currently authorized Rotavirus (RV) vaccines with intussusception (IS). We aimed at investigating whether, in Germany, there are excess IS cases in RV vaccinees compared with the background incidence before market authorization in 2006.

Rotavirus genotypes circulating in Brazil before national rotavirus vaccination: A review

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2008
Rotavirus vaccine was recently introduced in Brazil, which has the potential to greatly reduce childhood deaths from diarrhoea. To provide baseline data to assess the effect of mass rotavirus vaccination on the ecology of circulating rotavirus strains, we systematically analysed published studies in the pre-vaccine era.To describe the distribution of ...

Subsequently, the same particles were found in the stools of these children, but not in those of controls.' Since then, these viruses (which we shall call rotaviruses although other names have been suggested ...
