Rota Virus Ag test kit

Rotavirus is the most common cause of diarrhea in infants and children worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Most children have had at least once with rotavirus by age 2 or 3.

Although rotavirus infection is uncomfortable, can treat most of them at home with extra fluids to prevent dehydration. Occasionally, severe dehydration requires intravenous fluids in the hospital. Dehydration is a serious complication of rotavirus and greater mortality among children in developing countries.

Vaccination can help prevent rotavirus infection in infants. For older children and adults - who are not likely to develop serious symptoms of rotavirus - wash your hands frequently is the best line of prevention.
