Dysnatremia and subsequent sodium level changes following various intravenous treatments in infants with acute gastroenteritis. Eur J Pediatr 2023; 182:4741-4748. [PMID: 37581625 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-05151-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023]
Abstract
Acute gastroenteritis is one of the main causes of electrolyte imbalance in infants. We aimed to determine the frequency of and factors associated with dysnatremia at presentation and establish the ideal intravenous treatment scheme. The records of hospitalized infants aged 1-12 months with community-acquired acute gastroenteritis between January 2017 and March 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Factors associated with dysnatremia at presentation were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression analysis. Subsequent sodium levels 4-24 h after intravenous fluid treatments, which were categorized into 2 groups, were determined in the subgroup of infants with normal sodium levels at presentation. A total of 347 infants with a median age of 8.0 (5.0-10.0) months were included. The frequency of dysnatremia at presentation was 14% (hyponatremia 12% and hypernatremia 2.0%). Severe dehydration was associated with dysnatremia at presentation (p = 0.048). Among 68 infants with normal sodium levels at presentation, the median sodium change was highest in the 5% dextrose in saline group, with changes of + 3 (0.5-5) and + 1 (- 2 to 2) mmol/L in infants who received 5% dextrose in saline and 5% dextrose in 1/3-1/2 saline, respectively (p = 0.001). Four out of 47 infants (8.5%) developed hyponatremia while receiving 5% dextrose in 1/3-1/2 saline. None of those who received 5% dextrose in saline developed subsequent dysnatremia. Conclusion: The frequency of dysnatremia at presentation among infants with acute gastroenteritis was 14%. Severe dehydration was associated with dysnatremia at presentation, so electrolyte levels need to be assessed in these patients. The use of isotonic solution did not promote acquired dysnatremia. This study supports once more that current guidelines recommending isotonic solution for children, and, especially, infant rehydration, are important also for infants in Thailand. What is Known: • There were a wide variation in the incidence of dysnatremia at presentation in children with acute gastroenteritis in previous pediatric series. • The AAP guidelines recommend using isotonic solution in children with acute illness from 28 days to 18 years of age to prevent acquired hyponatremia. What is New: • The incidence of dysnatremia at presentation in infants with acute gastroenteritis was 14% (hyponatremia 12% and hypernatremia 2.0%). • The use of isotonic solution did not promote acquired dysnatremia in infants with acute gastroenteritis.

Multiplex PCR Pathogen Detection in Acute Gastroenteritis Among Hospitalized US Children Compared With Healthy Controls During 2011-2016 in the Post-Rotavirus Vaccine Era. Open Forum Infect Dis 2021; 8:ofab592. [PMID: 34988246 PMCID: PMC8694200 DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofab592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Despite vaccine-induced decreases in US rotavirus (RV) disease, acute gastroenteritis (AGE) remains relatively common. We evaluated AGE pathogen distribution in hospitalized US children in the post–RV vaccine era. Methods From December 2011 to June 2016, the New Vaccine Surveillance Network (NVSN) conducted prospective, active, population-based surveillance in hospitalized children with AGE. We tested stools from 2 NVSN sites (Kansas City, Houston) with Luminex x-TAG Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panels (Luminex GPP) and analyzed selected signs and symptoms. Results For 660 pediatric AGE inpatients and 624 age-matched healthy controls (HCs), overall organism detection was 51.2% and 20.6%, respectively (P < .001). Among AGE subjects, GPP polymerase chain reaction detected >1 virus in 39% and >1 bacterium in 14% of specimens. Detection frequencies for AGE subjects vs HCs were norovirus (NoV) 18.5% vs 6.6%, RV 16.1% vs 9.8%, adenovirus 7.7% vs 1.4%, Shigella 4.8% vs 1.0%, Salmonella 3.1% vs 0.1%, and Clostridioides difficile in ≥2-year-olds 4.4% vs 2.4%. More co-detections occurred among AGE patients (37/660, 5.6%) than HCs (14/624, 2.2%; P = .0024). Per logistic regression analysis, ill contacts increased risk for NoV, RV, and Shigella (P < .001). More vomiting episodes occurred with NoV and RV, and more diarrheal episodes with Shigella and Salmonella. Modified Vesikari scores were highest for Shigella and lowest for C. difficile. Conclusions NoV detection was most frequent; however, RV remained important in hospitalized AGE in the post–RV vaccine era. Continued active surveillance is important to document ongoing vaccine effects, pathogen emergence, and baseline disease burden for new vaccines.

Abstract
Sapovirus (SaV) is an emerging cause of children gastrointestinal complications such as acute gastroenteritis (AGE). The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to estimate the global prevalence of the SaV in children and association of infection with SaVs and AGE in children based on case-control studies. Four international databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences and Google Scholar) were used to retrieve English-language studies published between January 2000 and December 2020. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software was applied to estimate the overall prevalence, publication bias and heterogeneity index. The pooled prevalence of SaV infection among children with gastroenteritis was 3.4% [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.9%-3.9%] based on a random-effects meta-analysis. Genogroup I was the dominant genogroup of SaV in children with gastroenteritis [2.2% (95% CI: 1.6%-3.0%)], association analysis showed that SaV was associated with gastroenteritis [OR: 1.843 (95% CI: 1.27-2.66)]. Given the significant prevalence of the virus in children, it is necessary to pay more attention to this situation. Therefore, preventive health measures in children should be a priority.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotavirus gastroenteritis is a major public health problem in Nepal. This study was conducted to obtain information associated with Rotavirus gastroenteritis and to perform genotyping of Rotavirus A. METHODS Hospital based cross sectional study was conducted from January to December 2017 among children less than 5 years of age attending Kanti Children's Hospital and Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. Rotavirus A antigen detection was performed by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) using ProSpecT Rotavirus Microplate Assay. Rotavirus A positive strains were further confirmed by genotyping using Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS A total of 1074 stool samples were collected, of them 770 were hospitalized, and 304 were non-hospitalized cases. Rotavirus A infection was found in 28% of children with infection rate higher in hospitalized (34%) than in non-hospitalized (14%) children. Rotavirus A detection was higher in male (31%) than in female (24%), but this was statistically not significant (p > 0.05). Rotavirus A positivity was higher in children of age group 0-23 months, this result was statistically not significant (p > 0.05) with higher frequency found in the months of November, December, January, February and March (p < 0.05). On the basis of molecular analysis of Rotavirus A genotyping, G12P[6] (46.39%) was found to be the predominant followed by G1P[8] (35.05%), G3P[8] (7.21%) and G1P[6] (5.15%) while 4.12% was mixed infection and 1.03% was partially typed (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Rotavirus A infection occurred throughout the year, but the infection was significantly higher during the month of March. The higher frequency of rotavirus infection was observed among children of age group 0-23 months; however this was not found to be statistically significant. In this study, G12P[6] is predominant genotype observed. The results of genotyping are essential for the introduction of Rotavirus vaccine in Nepal.

Abstract
Background Diarrhoea is a main cause of morbidity and mortality in children under 5 responsible for approximately four billion cases and 1.1 million deaths annually. In developing countries, it causes two million deaths each year. The major causative organism responsible is Rotavirus which is responsible for one-third of hospitalizations with approximately 40% mortality. Results The prevalence of Rotavirus infection was 26.4% (73/277). The predominant strain of Rotavirus found was G1 21/73 (53.8%), followed by G8 9/73 (23.1%), G12 5/73 (12.8%), G9 3/73(7.7%) and G4 1/73 (2.6%). All serotypes identified were in children who had completed Rotavirus vaccination except for one who had G8 in whom the vaccine was introduced after they had completed immunizations. Conclusion The overall prevalence of rotavirus has reduced from 33.2% in 2009 to 26.4% in 2016. We have found G1 to be the predominant serotype as well as other circulating serotypes namely G4, G8, G9 and G12. Despite a reduction in prevalence, there is a need for further rotavirus surveillance in the region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The decision to test for the etiology of diarrhea is a challenging question for practicing pediatricians. METHODS The main goal of this retrospective cohort study was to identify factors associated with testing for and diagnosis of rotavirus, Clostridium difficile, or other bacterial infections, as well as the length of stay (LOS) for children with acute gastroenteritis who were hospitalized at a single institution. Patients aged 6 to 60 months with acute diarrhea (<14 days) and no underlying gastrointestinal conditions were included. Data were analyzed by using multivariate logistic and linear regression models. RESULTS Stool testing was performed in 73.1% of the 331 patients studied. The majority were tested for multiple pathogens, including rotavirus (65.9%), C difficile (30.8%), and other bacteria (63.4%), with recovery rates of 33.0%, 9.8%, and 6.7%, respectively. Rotavirus was more often identified in older patients with dehydration and vomiting. Although testing for C difficile was more likely with prolonged diarrhea, no vomiting, and recent antibiotic use, no factors were associated with C difficile recovery. Patients who were diagnosed with C difficile were more likely to receive probiotics than those who received negative test results. LOS was not associated with stool testing or recovery of any tested pathogens. CONCLUSIONS Although children with acute gastroenteritis underwent frequent stool testing for diarrheal etiology, detection of a pathogen was uncommon and not associated with a change in LOS. Experimental research will be needed to make additional conclusions about the efficacy of testing for diarrheal etiology in the inpatient practice of acute pediatric diarrhea.
