Rotavirus is the most significant cause of acute diarrhea worldwide. Severe dehydration and mortality rates are substantially higher in developing countries. The introduction of monovalent and pentavalent rotavirus vaccines since 2006 in various countries has had a favorable impact, reducing hospitalizations and deaths in children under 5 years of age. The objective of our study is to present the case of an 18monthold infant who, despite having received two doses of the monovalent rotavirus vaccine at 2 and 4 months of age, developed a diarrheal episode with dehydration and severe metabolic acidosis, and tested positive for Rotavirus and Clostridium difficile, with a hematogram showing a viral pattern.
