Dehydration, Gastroenteritis
The goals of this study are to see what effects the introduction of RV5(RotaTeq) vaccine has had in the community both on the number of rotavirus-associated hospitalizations and on the strains of rotavirus circulating in the community. The investigators will use cases of rotavirus gastroenteritis identified on the wards at Hasbro Children's Hospital during the 2007-2009 rotavirus seasons for a case-control study to estimate rotavirus vaccine effectiveness in preventing rotavirus-associated hospitalizations. The investigators plan to assess rotavirus vaccine coverage in Rhode Island using the state vaccine registry and to examine whether and to what extent rotavirus vaccine was used outside the recommended age limits (off label) during the first 2 years of its implementation in Rhode Island. Finally using the state child health database, KIDSNET the investigators plan to investigate the reasons that children may not have received rotavirus vaccine in order to better target educational efforts for parents and health care providers.
Rotavirus Gastroenteritis
This study will evaluate the safety and usefulness of omalizumab (anti-IgE, Xolair) in reducing eosinophil counts and improving symptoms in patients with eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG). EG is a disorder of unknown cause in which eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, are increased in the blood and gut tissue. Patients with EG have symptoms like stomach pain, bloating, and vomiting. About 50 percent of EG patients have food or environmental allergies, which may play a role in EG. Some patients with EG improve significantly on diets avoiding foods to which they are allergic. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is an antibody that plays an important role in initiating allergic reactions. Omalizumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against IgE. The Food and Drug Administration approved omalizumab in 2003 for treating patients 12 years of age and older with allergic asthma. Patients between 12 and 76 years of age with eosinophilic gastroenteritis who have a blood eosinophil count of 500 or more and who have a food allergy or allergy to an inhaled allergen may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, and blood and urine tests. Participants undergo the following procedures: * Leukapheresis. This procedure is done to collect quantities of white blood cells to study the effects of omalizumab on eosinophils and other immune substances. Blood flows from a needle placed in an arm vein through a catheter (plastic tube) into a machine that separates the blood into its components by centrifugation (spinning). Some of the white cells are removed and the rest of the blood (red cells, plasma and platelets) is returned to the body through a needle in the other arm. * Skin testing. Participants are tested for allergies to specific substances. A small amount of various allergens (substances that cause allergies) are placed on the subject's arm. The skin is pricked at the sites of the allergens and the skin reaction after several minutes is observed. * Upper and lower endoscopy. One or both of these procedures is done, depending on the part of the gastrointestinal tract that is involved, to examine the tract. If both procedures are done, they are performed at the same time. For the upper endoscopy, the subject's throat is sprayed with a numbing medicine and a long, flexible tube is passed through the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. For the lower endoscopy, the tube is passed through the rectum into t...

Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis
BioFire Diagnostics, LLC (BioFire) has developed the FilmArray Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel, a rapid, easy to use PCR-based in vitro diagnostic test for the identification of 22 common microorganisms responsible for infectious gastroenteritis (http://filmarray.com/the-panels/) from a stool specimen collected in Cary Blair enteric transport media. The test was made available for sale in the US and EU following FDA clearance and CE marking in May, 2014. The FilmArray GI Panel offers improvements over conventional laboratory testing which include: reduced turnaround time from specimen to result, reduced laboratory labor costs, increased sensitivity and specificity relative to current clinical reference methods, and larger breadth of organism identification than is available using standard methods. Because of these attributes, the results from this test have the potential to enable clinicians to more accurately diagnose and treat GI illness in a reduced time frame. Collaborators at the University of Utah, Brown University/Lifespan, and BioFire Diagnostics have designed a study to evaluate health outcomes of pediatric subjects presenting to emergency departments with GI illness before and after establishing the FilmArray GI Panel as the standard of care method for stool pathogen analysis. It is hypothesized that the rapid (\~ 1 hour turnaround time), sensitive, specific, and comprehensive results provided by the FilmArray GI Panel will allow clinicians to more rapidly diagnose GI illness, initiate appropriate therapy and provide guidance when compared to the pre-implementation period.
Infectious Gastroenteritis
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare amino acid-fortified oral rehydration therapy (ORT) to the standard of care ORT in pediatric patients with acute gastroenteritis (AGE). The main questions it aims to answer are: * can amino acid-fortified ORT reduce the duration and severity of AGE compared to standard of care ORT? * can amino acid-fortified ORT increase the secretion of antimicrobial peptides in the gastrointestinal tract compared to standard of care ORT? Participants will be assigned to the experimental treatment (amino acid-fortified ORT) or the standard of care ORT and their disease severity, duration, and stool antimicrobial peptide content.

Gastroenteritis, Infectious Colitis
Infants and young children often become infected with gastroenteritis leading to vomiting and diarrhea. This can lead to dehydration, one of the most common complaints in the Pediatric Emergency Department. These children are often in need of treatment with intravenous (IV) fluids. While the investigators know that IV fluids work, it is not clear which type or how much fluid is the best amount to give. Currently, the most common type of IV fluid given is salt water, also called normal saline. In contrast to adults, infants and young children with dehydration often have a build up of a certain type of acid in their blood which can perpetuate the nausea, vomiting, and general malaise associated with gastroenteritis. The investigators feel that giving these children IV fluids with lots of sugar (in addition to the salt) reduces the acid more rapidly than giving just salt water alone. In a prior study, the investigators have shown that children who receive lower amounts of sugar in the IV fluids return to the Emergency Department more often for a second visit. Based on this study, the investigators believe that children who receive the sugar-salt solution will do better than children who receive just normal saline. The investigators will determine if the sugar-salt solution is better by giving equal numbers of children the sugar-salt solution and normal saline and then see what happens to each child. The investigators will monitor who needs to be admitted, how much each child vomits, how much each child drinks, and also the level of acid in the blood before and after getting the IV fluid. After the study is completed, the investigators can compare the two different groups (children who received the sugar-salt solution versus children who received normal saline alone) to determine if one group had greater improvement and better clinical outcome than the other.

This is a safety and infectivity study of experimental human Norovirus genogroup GII.4 administered to 48 healthy non-pregnant adults, 18-49 years of age, negative for COVID-19 by antigen testing at the time of norovirus challenge. Subjects will be admitted to the Vaccine Research Center inpatient facility and challenged with a dose of human norovirus GII.4 challenge strain. The challenge study will be conducted in 3 cohorts of approximately 16 subjects each, 15 subjects will have a functional FUT-2 gene (secretor positive) and 1 subject will have a non-functional FUT-2 gene (non-secretor). Subjects in Cohort 1 will receive 3.5x10\^3 copies of norovirus, in Cohort 2 will receive 3.5x10\^4 copies of norovirus and in Cohort 3 will receive 3.5x10\^5 copies of norovirus. Based on the illness rate of subjects meeting the primary outcome measure in secretor - positive subjects of the initial cohort, the decision will be made with regards to dosing of the second and the third cohorts. Study duration is approximately 12-18 months with subject participation duration of 6-8 months. The primary objective of this study is to determine the optimal challenge dose of Norovirus GII.4 CIN-3 Batch No.: 01-16C3 to achieve illness in \> / = 50% of subjects (illness is defined as norovirus infection determined by positive Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and either: a) \> / = 3 loose or liquid stools, in a 24-hour period, b) \> / = 300 gm of loose or liquid stool in a 24-hour period or c) and/or any episode of vomiting), during the inpatient period.

This is a phase 2 multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of nitazoxanide for the treatment of solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients with symptomatic diarrhea due to Norovirus. The study involves a total of 160 Hematopoietic Stem Cell or Solid Organ transplant recipients, equal to or greater than 12 years of age with diagnosis of Norovirus who will be selected and randomly assigned (1:1) to nitazoxanide or placebo group. The study duration is 60 months and subject participation duration is 6 months. Given the safety of prolonged therapy with nitazoxanide, lack of interactions with common post-transplant medications, putative antiviral activity and prolonged duration of viral shedding we are assessing 56 doses of therapy. The longitudinal monitoring phase will provide useful information on the course of host and viral responses in subjects with chronic Norovirus infection with and without treatment. Randomization will be stratified by age group (pediatric (12 through 17 years) vs. adult (greater than or equal to 18 years)), chronicity of Norovirus-associated symptoms (acute (less than 14 days) vs. chronic (greater than or equal to 14 days)) and transplant type (solid organ (SOT)) vs. hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)). Enrolled subjects will participate in 2 phases of the study: Treatment Phase, which will include dosing with the assigned study agent for 28 days. Longitudinal Monitoring Phase which will include telephone call on Days 35, 53, 113, 173. Primary objective is 1) to assess the clinical efficacy of nitazoxanide for the management of acute and chronic Norovirus in transplant recipients.
