The aim of the present study was to better understand how clinical events in acute rotavirus gastroenteritis are depicted on ultrasonography.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.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 ultrasonography1 day after illness onset (n = 50, but duration of illness after ultrasonography followed only in 42) and those examined ≥ 2 days after onset (n = 42, but duration of illness after ultrasonography followed only in 35).The ability of abdominal ultrasonography to indicate severity of disease makes abdominal ultrasonography an important guide to therapy. |
