Age and Gender Distribution of Enteric Adenovirus and Rotavirus Infections among Pediatric Population and Determination the Level of IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10

The onset of acute gastroenteritis due to viral infection mostly occurs during early childhood. Two viruses namely rotavirus and enteric adenovirus serve as the leading agents which trigger acute gastroenteritis in children and infants. The objective of this retrospective study involved evaluating demographic information alongside the frequency of rotavirus and enteric adenovirus antigen testing in hospitalized pediatric patients at our medical facility. Medical reviewers examined all hospital patients between October 2023 and March 2024 who presented with diarrhoea symptoms until their stool samples received testing. Stool antigen testing for rotavirus and enteric adenovirus occurred through the use of an immunochromatographic assay. The rotavirus stands as the leading factor in child acute gastroenteritis according to Babylon Hospital for Women and Children. A proper diagnosis of gastroenteritis depends on frequent testing for rotavirus and adenovirus antigens in recent stool samples. Viruses lead to most cases of gastroenteritis among children during their childhood. The Babylon Governorate area of our hospital underwent analysis revealing that rotavirus and adenovirus act as the two primary microorganisms causing gastroenteritis infections particularly prevalent among children in their 5-24 months period during autumn-winter months. Knowledge about the gastroenteritis origin in young children under two years old would promote swift patient recovery and reduce unnecessary healthcare expenses. The study of these conditions serves as a crucial requirement to spread understanding about the condition among impoverished populations who reside in Babylon Governorate. The scientists determined the lymphoblast fraction compared to complete lymphocytes based on transformation rates between study groups and controls (62.91 ± 11.45).
