Acute gastroenteritis in a pediatric population from Cali, Colombia in the post rotavirus vaccine era

Abstract

AGE remains an important cause of morbidity in children under 5 years of age, especially in those under 2 years. Rotavirus remains the leading AGE-associated pathogen, followed closely by norovirus in younger children. Preventive measures, including novel vaccination strategies, are necessary in this population to further reduce AGE-related morbidity.
