[The spread of rotavirus gastroenteritis in the Republic of Tajikistan].
The article deals with the results of the investigation which has demonstrated the spread of rotavirus infection on the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan. This infection has gained an important place in the regional pathology and requires increased epidemiological surveillance on its spread. As established in the course of this investigation, in patients with the clinical manifestations of pronounced gastroenteritis rotavirus plays the role of the etiological agent in 25.8% of cases in children aged up to 14 years and in 11.0% of cases in adults. Synchronism in the seasonal dynamics of morbidity in acute enteric infections of unclear etiology and rotavirus gastroenteritis among children aged 0-2 years, annually reaching morbidity peak in October, has been revealed. Rotavirus gastroenteritis requires close attention as regards its prophylaxis as one of the main nosological forms of acute enteric infections in the Republic.
