Rotavirus Diarrhea in Jakarta Children

This study investigated the epidemiology of rotavirus diarrhea among hospitalized children under five years old in Jakarta, Indonesia. The study found that 67% of the 99 children hospitalized for acute diarrhea tested positive for rotavirus. Rotavirus infections predominantly affected children aged 3-23 months, with a peak age of 12-23 months. The most common G genotypes identified were G1 (35%), G9 (12.5%), and G2 (7.5%), while the most common P genotypes were P6 (52.5%), P8 (17.5%), and P4 (10%). This study provides information on the incidence and genotypes of rotavirus causing diarrhea among young children in Jakarta.
