Rotavirus is a double-stranded RNA virus that is the most common cause of severe gastroenteritis in children. There are several risk factors for getting rotavirus infection including being an unimmunized young child and being immunocompromised. The pathophysiology of rotavirus infections involves several mechanisms (including decreasing activity of brush border enzymes), which we discuss in more detail in this lesson. We also discuss the incubation period of rotavirus, signs & symptoms, how it is diagnosed and how it is treated.

Children can catch a rotavirus infection if they put their fingers in their mouths after touching something that has been contaminated by the stool of an infected person. Usually this happens when children forget to wash their hands often enough, especially before eating and after using the toilet.
