Analysis of Rotavirus Antigenemia and Extraintestinal Manifestations in Children With Rotavirus Gastroenteritis

Abstract

Rotavirus antigenemia is frequently observed in a patient's serum during the acute phase, and viral antigen levels change dramatically during the acute phase of the illness. Because patients with fever had higher rotavirus antigen levels, antigenemia severity might contribute to fever. The host immune response plays an important role in controlling antigenemia levels.
