Abbreviations: HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; IQR, interquartile range; RV, rotavirus; RV1, monovalent oral rotavirus vaccine.

All proportions reported as number (proportion, 95% confidence interval of proportion). Denominator for all proportions n=120 for both cases and controls unless stated otherwise.

χ2 test.

11/17 RV gastroenteritis cases exposed to HIV and 15/19 community controls exposed to HIV had a negative HIV DNA polymerase chain reaction at 6 weeks old. One community control was known to be infected with HIV and on antiretrovirals. Status of remaining infants exposed to HIV was unknown.

Weight adjusted for dehydration status by adding 5% for some dehydration and 10% for severe dehydration.

Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
