Since the gastrointestinal tract of infants and young children is immature and has weak defense capabilities, they are more susceptible to rotavirus attack and related symptoms may be more prominent.

Children aged between 6 months and 2 years old are more likely to be infected with rotavirus; children aged less than 23 months are more likely to be infected with intestinal adenovirus.
