An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Rotavirus is transmitted by swallowing material contaminated by fecal matter. It first presents with vomiting and a slight fever before proceeding to diarrhea. In most cases, the disease is easily managed by providing fluids. In young children, rotavirus should always be part of a differential diagnosis when diarrhea presents and tests should be run to confirm. Hydration should be closely monitored as the disease only causes death through severe dehydration.
