Background and aims Non dysentery-form diarrhea in children the most frequent cause by rotalnrus about 70-801/4 of all cases diarrhea in the developing country. Rotavirus infections occur mostly in winter, but in the tropics country like Indonesia they occur throughout the year Diarrhea have been made by relating disease incidence to weather factors, the difference is partly explained by seasonal changes in temperature and humidity. The Aim this study to find weather factors influence with hospital visits for diarrhea. Methods The study included all children aged < 5 years inpatients and outpatients who presented with acute diarrhea at Hasan Sadikin Hospitals (Bandung, West Java), from January through December 2011, a fresh fecal specimen was obtained from enrolled children within 24 h after admission, was placed in a clean container, and was stored at 4°C-8°C until laboratory testing. The weather information every month obtained from climatology meteorology and geophysics Bandung agency. Results From 211 children aged between 1-59 months, 143 (68%) boys and 68 (32%) girls were hospitalized for acute diarrhea in Hasan Sadikin Hospitals the incidence of age at more then 6 month, from 200 sample with 9$ (48%) rotavirus positive for dehydration degree are 39% no dehydration, 54% mild dehydration and 7% severe dehydration, obtained 162 subjects (76.8%) with vomiting complaints,156 (73.3%) fever, 18 (8.5%) bloating, diaper rash occurred in 36 (18.5%) and 109 (52%) are given exclusive breastfeeding.
