Arias Juan José Calva Luis Padilla Héctor Guiscafré Salud Mexico rotavirus dehydration Key words: infantile diarrhea Objective. To compare the severity of rotavirus diarrhea(RV) and non-rotavirus diarrhea. Material and Methods.Between October 1994 and March 1995, a cross-sectionalstudy was performed in 520 infants with acute diarrhea, atseven primary care level centers in five states of Mexico.Diagnosis of RV was done through immunoenzymatic assayor electrophoresis. Central tendency measures were usedfor data analysis. Results were presented as means and standarddeviations, or median and variation. Results. RV wasisolated from 264 children; most of them were males aged6 months to 1 year. Differences in clinical manifestationswere statistically significant between the rotavirus-positivegroup and the rotavirus-negative group, in the following variables:median number of stools/24 hours; frequency ofvomiting; temperature > 38°C; dehydration; and clinicalseverity scoring. Conclusions. These results showed a poorerprognosis and a higher severity of rotavirus diarrhea, ascompared to non-rotavirus diarrhea in infants.
