This is a 1-year study evaluating hospitalizations and the medical care for the treatment of diarrhea from rotavirus infection in children \< 5 years of age, conducted in four hospitals located in four Brazilian regions. A stool sample from each eligible child passing 3 or more loose stools or watery stools within a period of 24 hours and requiring hospitalization or rehydration therapy (oral or IV rehydration) will be tested for the presence of rotavirus, using standard laboratory procedures (ie, Enzyme Linked Ligand Sorbent Assay, or ELlSA) by all participating hospitals.
