| Popis: | Background: The aim of the present study was to better understand how clinical events in acute rotavirus gastroenteritis are depicted on ultrasonography. Methods: The relationship between abdominal ultrasonography and clinical course and symptoms was evaluated in 92 patients with acute rotavirus gastroenteritis (51 boys, 41 girls) with an average age of 30.7 ± 24.6 months. Results: Significant correlations were observed between ultrasonography score and duration of illness after ultrasonography (P= 0.0232). It was also interesting that ultrasonography findings (score: 3.1 ± 1.0 vs 3.6 ± 1.2; P= 0.0118), clinical symptoms (3.1 ± 1.7 score vs 3.8 ± 1.8 score, P= 0.0293), and duration of illness after ultrasonography (4.4 ± 1.4 days vs 3.8 ± 1.1 days, P= 0.0301) were significantly different between patients examined on ultrasonography |
