What the risks are

There are no risks associated with this test.


Special considerations

Because rotavirus is easily transmitted from person to person, thoroughly wash your hands after contact with a child who is infected or thought to be infected. Any surface that has been in contact with stool should be disinfected.

Infants and children should be monitored for signs of dehydration.
