Diarrhea
Diarrhea: global problem
 Diarrhea is a leading cause of death in children under age 5,
responsible for nearly 800,000 deaths1
 It’s common. More than 1.7 billion cases occur annually in children
under 51
 It can cause severe dehydration and lead to hospitalization or death1
 Diarrhea has lasting repercussions for children2
• Major contributing factor to malnutrition
• Leads to growth delays
• Children are 8.5 more times likely to die from any cause after an
episode

Diarrhea: causes are clear
 Rotavirus is 1 of 4 pathogens causing the majority of moderate-tosevere diarrhea in children under age 5
 Rotavirus is the #1 cause of diarrhea in infants (0-11 months)

Rotavirus
Rotavirus: common and severe
 Most common cause of severe diarrhea among children1
 Highly contagious and resilient2
 Improvements in hygiene, sanitation and drinking water do not
adequately prevent rotavirus1
 Almost every child is infected by age 5, rich or poor, regardless of
where they live1
 Most infections occur in very young children1

Rotavirus: treatment and prevention
Without access to treatment for the severe dehydration it can
cause, rotavirus can be a death sentence
• Rotavirus cannot be treated with antibiotics or
other drugs
• Prompt treatment with oral rehydration therapy
(ORT) can be effective in treating mild infections
• Many of the world’s poorest children do not have
access to ORT, despite the fact that it is effective
and inexpensive
• Rotavirus prevention by vaccination is key to
improving child survival

Santosham, Lancet, 2010
ORT coverage
is only in
~30% of
places where
the most
diarrhea
deaths occur1
Rotavirus: deadly
Rotavirus is the leading cause of death due to diarrhea in young children
More than 1,200 children die each day
from rotavirus
Responsible for 5% of all deaths in
children under 5
95% of rotavirus deaths occur in
low-income countries
eligible for GAVI support

Rotavirus: devastating burden
 Responsible for
millions of

 Accounts for
approximately 40% of

hospitalizations
