title: Follow-up of Gambian children for a 1-year period after rotavirus infection.
abstract: To investigate the hypothesis that rotavirus infection in young children can trigger chronic diarrhoeal disease, a group of cases from a documented epidemic of rotavirus and a group of matched controls were followed for a 1-year period after infection. No evidence of excess chronic diarrhoea or vomiting in the group known to have been infected with rotavirus was found.
