THE PLACE OF ROTAVIRAL INFECTION IN THE STRUCTURE OF ACUTE INTESTINAL INFECTIONS IN HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN IN THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFE IN CHITA

The aim of the research. To study the incidence of rotavirus infection in children of the first year of life were hospitalized in regional clinical infectious diseases hospital with acute intestinal infection in the period from 2014 to 2020.

Materials and methods of research. The analysis of the data of statistical reports of the regional clinical infectious diseases hospital of Chita for 2014-2020 was carried out. Statistical processing was carried out using programs STATISTICA 10.0, Microsoft Office Exсel 2010.

Results. The number of hospitalizations of infants for acute intestinal infection decreased by 1,8 times in 2020 (p ˂ 0,05) compared to 2014, the incidence decreased by 43,1 %. The morbidity rate of viral diarrhea in the structure of acute intestinal infections of infancy averaged 31,7 %. In dynamics, an increase in the incidence of diarrhea of viral etiology was noted with an average growth rate of 10,3 %. The morbidity rate of rotavirus infection in infants was 73,9 %. In 2019, a decrease in the incidence of infants with rotavirus diarrhea by 1,4 times (p ˂ 0,05) was registered with an increase in diseases caused by viruses of other etiology.

Conclusions. The reduction in the number of hospitalizations in 2020 of infants with acute intestinal infection during the period of restrictive measures for COVID-19 revealed. There was a decrease in the incidence of acute intestinal infections in children of the first year of life in the period from 2014 to 2019. There was an increase in the morbidity rate of diarrhea of viral etiology and at the same time a decrease in the proportion of rotavirus infection.
