What are the Complications of Rotavirus?

The most significant complication of rotavirus infection is dehydration, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Other potential complications include:
- Severe electrolyte imbalances
- Metabolic acidosis
- Secondary bacterial infections
In rare cases, rotavirus can lead to more severe conditions such as intussusception, a type of bowel obstruction. This complication is more commonly associated with the vaccine rather than the natural infection.
