CLINICAL AND LABORATORY CHARACTERISTICS OF ACUTE NOSOCOMIAL ROTA VIRAL INFECTION OF AN EARLY AGE CHILDREN

We examined 45 young children with nosocomial rotavirus infection who received inpatient treatment at the Republican Clinical Infectious Hospital (RCIH). Clinical and laboratory characteristics of nosocomial rotavirus infection in young children are given. As a result of the study, nosocomial rotavirus infection is often (86.4%) registered among children of the first year of life who are on artificial and mixed feeding. Basically, children with rotavirus infection were admitted in the cold season and were residents of Bishkek (64.3%), by gender showed that both boys (50%) and girls (50%) were equally ill. The disease began acutely with symptoms of gastroenteritis and proceeded mainly in severe form (73.8%) due to the formation of mixinfection and complications. It should be noted that the stay in other hospitals in children under one year lasted for 7.3±2.4 days, in children under 3 years 3.6±1.2 days. The diagnosis was confirmed by express diagnostic methods: a rota test in 78.5% of patients and PCR analysis of faeces. For timely diagnosis of nosocomial RVI, it is necessary to use express diagnostics by latex agglutination reaction (rota test) and PCR analysis.
