Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: vaccination against rotavirus could have a significant impact on the decline in hospital admissions related to seizures, especially in younger children.

Reviewers’ commentary: should the decline in hospital admissions for convulsive episodes, after widespread vaccination against rotavirus, be confirmed, might then this be an additional benefit of the vaccine, that could become a reason for its inclusion in vaccinationand immunization programs, but we need studies more powerful to confirm the effect.
