Abstract

Background Rotavirus is one of the most common cause of acute
diarrhea among hospitalized and pediatric outpatients, especially
those aged 6-24 months. Data of hospitalized children showed that
rotavirus causes severe diarrhea, but data of outpatient children in
Indonesia, especially at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta, is
limited.
Objective To characterize the clinical manifestations of rotavirus
diarrhea in the pediatric outpatient clinic at Cipto Mangunkusumo
Hospital Jakarta.
Methods This was a cross-sectional study, done in July 2003 –
March 2004. Stool specimens were collected from patients aged
6-24 months with diarrhea and tested for rotavirus by ELISA.
Result Of the 98 children enrolled, 35 (35.7%) children excreted
rotavirus. Rotavirus diarrhea was seen in 43.8% of children aged
6-11 months, of whom 37.0% of them were undernourished. Males
were affected 1.4 times as much as females. The clinical manifes-
tations were passage of diarrheic stools more than 10 times a day
(58.3%), mild-moderate dehydration (55.8%), cough (51.9%),
rhinorhea (46.0%), vomiting (44.8%), fever (41.1%), yellow stools
(38.9%), and mucus in the stool (20.0%). The highest prevalence
of rotavirus diarrhea was identified in the combination of diarrhea,
fever, vomiting and cough/rhinorrhea (55.3%). Stool analysis re-
vealed that the prevalence of rotavirus diarrhea among children
with fat malabsorption, lactose malabsorption, and stool leukocyte
of +2 were 50.0%, 46.7% and 33.9%, respectively.
Conclusion The prevalence of rotavirus diarrhea in the pediatric
outpatient clinic of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta was
35.7%. The highest prevalence of rotavirus diarrhea was identified
in the combination of diarrhea, fever, vomiting and cough/rhinorhea
(55.3%)
