| | Gastroenteritis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The most common viral causes of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children <5 years of age in both developed countries as well as developing countries are rotavirus group A (up to 50% of the cases), noroviruses (the most common cause of outbreaks of AGE in all age groups), adenoviruses type 40 and 41, astrovirus, and sapovirus. | | | Dehydration is the most concerning complication of the diarrhoea caused by gastroenteritis and needs prompt rectification by a clinician if severe. | | | A few loose stools and vomiting may be the result of systemic infection such as pneumonia, septicaemia, urinary tract infection and even meningitis. |
