- Abstract
An accurate rotavirus diagnosis is important for clinical management and monitoring active disease and vaccine effectiveness. Between 2016–2018, rotavirus-positive results in our laboratory were from vaccine virus shedding in 71/152 (46.7%) infants with a request for rotavirus testing. Routine infant diagnostic testing should ideally distinguish vaccine from wild-type viruses.
