轮状病毒仍然是全世界儿童严重脱水腹泻的最常见原因。几种轮状病毒疫苗正在开发中。关于引入新疫苗的决定将需要有关疾病影响的可靠数据。亚洲轮状病毒监测网络于 2000 年启动，旨在促进这些数据的收集，是由 9 个国家或地区的 36 家医院组成的区域合作组织，使用世界卫生组织统一协议对轮状病毒住院情况进行监测。我们总结了2001年8月至2002年7月该网络的组织和经验。在此期间，0-5岁儿童因急性腹泻住院的45%是由轮状病毒引起的，高于之前的估计。全年所有地点均检测到轮状病毒。该网络是一种新颖的区域性监测疫苗可预防疾病的方法。这样的网络应提高可见性和宣传力度，实现更有效的数据收集，促进培训，并作为其他地区轮状病毒监测活动的范例。
Rotavirus remains the most common cause of severe, dehydrating diarrhea among children worldwide. Several rotavirus vaccines are under development. Decisions about new vaccine introduction will require reliable data on disease impact. The Asian Rotavirus Surveillance Network, begun in 2000 to facilitate collection of these data, is a regional collaboration of 36 hospitals in nine countries or areas that conduct surveillance for rotavirus hospitalizations using a uniform World Health Organization protocol. We summarize the Network's organization and experience from August 2001 through July 2002. During this period, 45% of acute diarrheal hospitalizations among children 0–5 years were attributable to rotavirus, higher than previous estimates. Rotavirus was detected in all sites year-round. This network is a novel, regional approach to surveillance for vaccine-preventable diseases. Such a network should provide increased visibility and advocacy, enable more efficient data collection, facilitate training, and serve as the paradigm for rotavirus surveillance activities in other regions.
