Abstract: IntroductionLe rotavirus est un problème de santé publique, non seulement dans les pays en développement où tous les enfants sont infectés avant l’âge de deux à trois ans mais aussi dans les pays développés où les conditions d'hygiène sont bonnes. La présente étude est la première à fournir des informations sur la prévalence de l'infection à rotavirus dans les diarrhées aiguës des nourrissons dans la ville de Lubumbashi. Elle s'est fixée comme objectifs de déterminer la fréquence hospitalière ainsi que la sais… Show more

“…Rotavirus diarrhea in Central African children was found to be a pathology of ----------------------------------------------------Open Journal of Pediatrics infants under 12 months of age (93.81%). Our results corroborate those of Sangaji in the Democratic Republic of Congo (92%) [15] and those of two other African authors (66% by Kouéta and 53% by Nitièma) [45] [47]. In contrast to our results, a Tunisian study noted that 93.3% of rotavirus diarrhea cases were infants under 2 years of age [48].…”

“…In our study, the average age of the children was 6.8 months similar to the 6.9 months found by Sangaji in the Democratic Republic of Congo [15]. On the other hand, higher average ages were found by Bonkoungou (8 months) [22], Kaboré (9.3 months) [44], Koueta (9.5 months) [45] and Nakawesi (10 months) [46].…”

“…According to the WHO, rotavirus is isolated throughout the year in the subtropical zone and peaks often occur in dry seasons, unlike in developed countries where peaks occur in winter [ 8 ]. In regions with temperate climates, numerous studies have shown that rotavirus infections occur mainly during the cold winter season; this is the case of Iran [ 27 ], Europe [ 28 ], and the United States [ 29 ]. However, rotavirus distribution can vary greatly from year to year in subtropical countries [ 8 ].…”
