Abstract

Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) remains a significant cause of diarrhea that affects children worldwide. It is usually caused by viral agents, including rotavirus (RV), norovirus (NoV), adenovirus (AdV), astrovirus (AstV), and sapovirus (SaV), and the disease severity varies accordingly. Here, we report the association of clinical severity among AGE‐infected pediatrics caused by a single viral pathogen, coinfection (viral–viral), mixed infection (viral–bacterial), and AGE‐negative samples.
