Rotaviruses are the main cause of acute gastroenteritis, especially in children under the age of two years. Rotaviruses have been identified in almost 50% of the faeces of children with gastroenteritis, responsible for 600,000-800,000 death annually. Rotavirus infections occur frequently during the winter months. Gastroenteritis from enteric viruses can be mortal in risk populations such as children, the elderly or immunosuppressed individuals. Characteristic symptoms include vomiting, hydrodiarrhoea for between 3 and 8 days, high temperature and stomach pains. Rotaviruses transferred via the faecal-oral route are eliminated in large quantities into the intestine, so that hospital-borne infections from rotaviruses are regarded very seriously, particularly in baby stations and paediatric clinics, and are difficult to control. Early and reliable detection so that rotaviruses can be recognised and further infections avoided is therefore very important.

The Ratavirus/Hemoglobin Test can detect rotavirus and hemoglobin in stool samples. The rotavirus test detect the group A rotavirus, the hemoglobin test can monitor the intestine status to judge whether the diarrhea cause intestine injury.
