Overview

Rotavirus predominance may inform local diagnostic testing; cross-sectional data leaves open effects on antibiotic use.

Structured PICO

P
Population
2,795 patients with acute gastroenteritis admitted to Selçuk University Medical Faculty Hospital between January 2010 and December 2013.
I
Intervention
Immunochromatographic testing of stool samples for rotavirus and adenovirus 40/41 antigens
O
Outcome
Frequency of rotavirus and adenovirus antigens

Rotavirus is the most common viral agent in acute gastroenteritis, particularly in children under 2 years old, highlighting the importance of viral screening to prevent unnecessary antibiotic use.
