CLINICAL FEATURES AND OUTCOMES OF ROTAVIRUS AND INTESTINAL PARASITOSIS CO-INFECTION IN EARLY-AGE CHILDREN

Clinical features and disease outcomes of coinfection of rotavirus and intestinal parasitosis in young children. The coexistence of rotavirus, the dominant etiological factor of acute intestinal infections in the early childhood population, and accompanying intestinal parasitosis is of great clinical importance. This research article provides a detailed analysis of the impact of rotavirus and parasitic invasion coinfection on the clinical course, duration, and outcomes of the disease in young children. The study included 47 children with confirmed rotavirus etiology, divided into groups with and without parasitosis. The results demonstrated that under coinfection conditions, rotavirus infection is manifested not by global changes in blood tests, but by a significant prolongation of the diarrhea syndrome and hospital stay. Specifically, the persistence of mild anemia and the slowing down of reparative processes in the small intestine were observed in children with parasitosis.
