Backgrounds: Worldwide, rotavirus is a leading cause of severe gastroenteritis in children younger than five years old. Patients with impaired immune systems, such as those undergoing organ transplants (both in children and adults), are also at increased risk. The mature enterocytes at the tips of the intestinal villus are the main targets of rotavirus infection, which causes severe diarrhoea. Nevertheless, infections can spread throughout the body and affect organs outside of the digestive tract, such as the kidneys, central nervous system, liver, and lungs.
