Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of an attenuated rotavirus vaccine, RIX4414: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial in Latin American infants.

TL;DR: Two doses of RIX4414 are highly efficacious, providing cross-protection against any and severe rotavirus gastroenteritis and hospitalization to infants in Latin America and proof of concept that the monovalent G1P1A P[8] human rotav virus vaccine elicits cross- protection against the G9 strain.
Journal ArticleDOI

A rotavirus vaccine for prophylaxis of infants against rotavirus gastroenteritis.

TL;DR: Results show prospects for widespread use of Rotarix to reduce rotavirus disease burden and warrant continued worldwide evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rotavirus-associated medical visits and hospitalizations in South America: a prospective study at three large sentinel hospitals.

TL;DR: It is estimated that ∼106 000/21 000, 48 000/8000 and 98 000/31 000 rotavirus-associated medical visits/hospitalizations occur yearly in Argentina, Chile and Venezuela, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy of the human rotavirus vaccine RIX4414 in malnourished children

TL;DR: RIX4414 significantly decreased the rate of RVGE regardless of nutritional status, which suggests that this patient group can also benefit from rotavirus vaccination.
