“…Severe complications of rotavirus infection, such as bloody diarrhoea associated with necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) and bowel perforation, have been described (25,26,29). Even though they have not yet been fully elucidated, several factors were associated with the pathogenesis of the disease (30).…”

“…This is not a classic presentation for preterm NEC and yet these patients do require surgery, have necrotic bowel and have very similar laboratory data. [55][56][57][58] Outcomes for viral enteritis in ELBW and VLBW neonates are surprisingly better than with preterm NEC with regard to the need for surgery and mortality, making it imperative that we differentiate between the two diseases in our prospective trials. 59,60 How to accomplish this is open to debate.…”

“…These findings were consistent with those reported previously by Dearlove et al, i.e., that smaller and sicker babies who stay in hospital longer are more likely to acquire RV infections. 11 The present study also indicated that the clinical manifestations of RV gastroenteritis in this age group were significantly different between those with CA and HA infections, as well as between term and preterm infants. Generally, most CA cases were term babies; term babies more often presented with fever and watery stools, which is a picture similar to that seen in elder infants and children; while preterm babies more often presented with bloody, mucoid stool and NEC, which is a picture different from that seen in elder infants and children.…”

“…Thus, we could not exclude the possibility of co-infection. Additionally, we did not survey the effect of breastfeeding on RV infection, which has been reported to be a protective factor for RV infection, 11,12,19 since this information was difficult to obtain from the medical records retrospectively.…”
