“…Rotavirus infections occur in Turkey throughout the year; however, they are usually more common between September and May [ 9 ]. Although infections do vary with respect to regions, a recent study reported rotavirus frequency to be between 7.7% and 73.7% [ 9 ]. The death rate due to diarrhea in Turkey decreased, following the widespread application of oral fluid treatment.…”

Background: Rotavirus is known to be one of the most common infections, usually associated with severe diarrhea. Despite the existence of two licensed vaccines, many countries, including Turkey, have not included rotavirus vaccination in their nationally funded vaccination program. This article explores what factors influence parents' decisions about whether to have their children vaccinated against rotavirus and which factors changed from 2010 through 2016.Materials and Methods: Data were collected over two periods via questionnaires. The first period was from January 2009 through March 2010, and data were gathered from a semi-private pediatric outpatient clinic in Kocaeli, Turkey. The second period was from August 2015 through May 2016, and data were collected from parents during their pediatric outpatient clinic visits.Two questionnaires were designed to find out the rotavirus vaccination status of the children, sociodemographic factors, and reasons for excluding/accepting the rotavirus vaccine. The level of knowledge about the rotavirus vaccine was investigated. Parents indicated their level of agreement with each statement using a five-point Likert scale.Results: While only 3.8% of the parents accepted the rotavirus in 2009-2010, it increased to 69.5% in 2015-2016. Significant factors influencing parents' decision to vaccinate their children for rotavirus were advice from a pediatrician, a lack of correct and timely rotavirus information, and the cost of the vaccine.Conclusions: The acceptance of the rotavirus vaccine depends on parental perceptions, which may be influenced by accurate and timely information, the advice of their healthcare provider, and inclusion in the nationally funded vaccination program. In contrast to other studies reported, the education level of the mothers and fathers and their job types appear to be important. It was also found that parents' attitudes and perceptions changed over time.

Objective: The aim of the current study was to investigate global research trends and collaborations on the Rotavirus vaccines. Methods: We conducted bibliometric research in this study on the Web of Science database with the keywords related to the rotavirus vaccine. And also visualization techniques were used for mapping the collaborations. We only included the research articles and review articles. Results: We reached 5093 publications according to our search, and 52.916% were published as open access. The most preferred publication languages were English (96.682%). Most of the articles (13.627%) on the rotavirus vaccine were published in the Vaccine journal. The publications were from 164 countries globally. Most of the publications were from the United States of America (USA) (42.981%), England (9.641%), India (6.892%), Australia (6.146%), and Belgium (5.910%). The Centers For Disease Control Prevention, League of European Research Universities Leru, and World Health Organization (WHO) were the leading affiliations on rotavirus vaccine studies. The H indexes of the publications from the USA were higher (H index: 127), but the Belgian publications’ average number of citations per publication was the highest. Conclusions: The quantity of papers on the rotavirus vaccine has increased over time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the League of European Research Universities Leru, and the WHO were the most active institutions, and the USA was the most productive country. The number of publications from countries where the disease is common was below the desired level.

“…Fekal oral yolla bulaşan bu patojenler kreş, bakımevi ve hastane klinikleri gibi ortak yaşam alanlarında hızla yayılarak salgınlara yol açabilmektedir. Çocuk kliniklerinde hastalar arasında bulaş nozokomiyal enfeksiyonlara neden olabilir (4) . Dolayısıyla enfekte kişilerin en hızlı şekilde belirlenerek izolasyon önlemlerinin alınması ve tedavi edilmesi yeni olguların hatta salgınların önlenmesinde çok önemlidir.…”

Viral gastroenteritler tüm dünyada önemli morbidite ve mortalite nedenidirler ve çevresel koşullardan etkilenebilirler. Rotavirüs ve adenovirüs başlıca viral gastroenterit nedenlerindendir. Bu çalışmada, Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, Hastanesi Tıbbi Mikrobiyoloji Laboratuvarı'nda çalışılan rotavirüs ve adenovirüs antijen testi sonuçlarının incelenmesi ve COVID-19 pandemisi döneminde bu patojenlerin değişiminin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Rotavirüs ve adenovirüs antijenlerinin tespiti immünokromatografik yöntemle çalışan Acro Rapid test (Acro Biotech, ABD) ile yapıldı. Çalışmaya dâhil edilen hastaların demografik özellikleri ve örneklere uygulanan diğer mikrobiyolojik inceleme sonuçları elektronik hastane kayıtlarından retrospektif olarak elde edildi. Bulgular: COVID-19 pandemisi öncesinde rotavirüs pozitifliği %10.4, adenovirüs pozitifliği ise %7.5 idi Pandemi döneminde ise hem rotavirüs pozitifliği (%5.1) hem de adenovirüs pozitifliği (%3.5) anlamlı olarak azalmıştı (p=0.001). Örneklerin %3.2'sinde rotavirüs ve adenovirüs birlikte saptandı. Rotavirüs ve adenovirüs pozitif hastaların cinsiyet, yaş ve direkt mikroskobik inceleme bulguları benzerdi. Yaş gruplarına göre pozitiflik oranlarının değişmediği görüldü. Rotavirüs pozitifliği en yüksek ilkbahar ve kış aylarında iken (p=0.005), adenovirüs pozitifliği ilkbahar ve yaz aylarında daha yüksekti ancak mevsimsel dağılım açısından anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı (p=0.167). Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, pandemi sırasında rotavirüs ve adenovirüs gastroenteritlerinin sıklığının azaldığı belirlenmiştir. COVID-19 salgınıyla mücadele için uygulanan sosyal izolasyon önlemlerinin ve değişen davranış modellerinin bu duruma neden olduğu düşünülmüştür.
