Division of Viral Diseases, NCIRD, CDC, Atlanta, United States of America.
Background: In January 2018, Afghanistan introduced the monovalent oral rotavirus vaccine (Rotarix) nationwide, administered as a 2-dose series at six and ten weeks of age. We describe characteristics of intussusception cases and assess potential intussusception risk associated with Rotarix vaccination in Afghan infants.
Methods: Multi-center prospective active hospital-based surveillance for intussusception was conducted from May 2018 to March 2022 in four sentinel sites in Afghanistan.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) for diagnosing small bowel intussusception, addressing a lack of standard protocols.
- A retrospective analysis of 95 patients revealed that many suspects of intussusception had abnormal findings on prior radiological tests, with a significant number showing normal results during SBCE.
- The findings suggest that SBCE can effectively complement radiological methods, offering a safe non-invasive option that can help reduce unnecessary surgeries in patients with intussusception.
