Risk of Transmission of Vaccine-Strain Rotavirus in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit That Routinely Vaccinates.
Pediatrics
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Background And Objectives: Many neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) do not give rotavirus vaccines to inpatients due to a theoretical risk of horizontal transmission of vaccine strains. We aimed to determine incidence and clinical significance of vaccine-strain transmission to unvaccinated infants in a NICU that routinely administers pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV5).
Methods: This prospective cohort study included all patients admitted to a 100-bed NICU for 1 year.
Diagnosing viral gastro-enteritis using the fully automated sample-in, result-out STARlet All in one system (AIOS).

The STARlet All-In-One system is a modular platform that integrates the complete molecular diagnostic workflow from nucleic acid extraction of clinical samples to PCR set-up and amplification. The platform was evaluated in comparison with laboratory developed tests (LDT) on fecal samples from patients with suspected viral gastro-enteritis. In a retrospective study, 72 positive samples were analysed, including all pathogens detected by the Seegene Allplex™ GI-virus assay, adenovirus, astrovirus, norovirus GI and GII, sapovirus, and rotavirus.

Intussusception is one of the most common causes of acute intestinal obstruction in infancy and early childhood. Most cases of intussusception tend to occur in infancy, between the ages of four and six months. The causes can be split into two categories: non-pathologic and pathologic.

Rotavirus is linked to severe childhood gastroenteritis and neurological complications, but its impact on neurodevelopment remains uncertain. We examined data from 1 420 941 Korean children born between 2009 and 2011, using the Korean National Health Insurance System. We assessed neurodevelopmental outcomes at age 6 years using the validated Korean Developmental Test, covering 6 major domains, with propensity score-based inverse probability weighting including consideration of covariates sex, birth weight, changes in body weight from birth to 4-6 months of age, head circumference at 4-6 months of age, residence at birth, economic status, infant feeding types, and birth year.

Background: The causative agents of diarrhea, rotavirus B (RVB) and rotavirus C (RVC) are common in adults and patients of all age groups, respectively. Due to the Rotavirus A (RVA) vaccination program, a significant decrease in the number of gastroenteritis cases has been observed globally. The replacement of RVA infections with RVB, RVC, or other related serogroups is suspected due to the possibility of reducing natural selective constraints due to RVA infections.
