Diarrheal pathogens in children under five: a cross-sectional study from Children’s Hospital 1, Vietnam
The microorganisms associated with acute diarrhea are diverse, with 15 pathogens identified, Group A Rotavirus, Adenovirus, Norovirus II, and DEC being the top four most common. Clinical features showed differences among pathogen groups. Understanding epidemiological and clinical information may support early clinical decision-making in Vietnam in the absence of diagnostic testing. Further studies are needed to assess their similarity and applicability in low- and middle-income countries.
