Introduction:
Urgency of the issue of rotavirus infection (RV) is stipulated by a special place in the structure of morbidity and mortality among young children. According to the data provided by WHO, 180 million diarrheal diseases with rotavirus etiology are registered every year. The aim of this article is to examine of current views on diagnosis and management of rotavirus infection in children.
Material And Methods:
The data of scientific literatures with the use of bibliosemantic method of study became the material for research.
Review:
The urgent approaches to diagnosis and management of rotavirus infection in children is reflected in the article.
Conclusions:
The specific prophylaxis is recommended in order to prevent these infection. Apply monovalent vaccine, which has cross protection against different strains (G1, G2, G3, G4 and G9), and use pentavalent liquid vaccine containing G serotypes are recommended. It has cross-protection against different strains.
