To assess the efficacy of therapeutic on Rotavirus diarrheal hospitalizations among children < 5 years of age based on world health organization (WHO) guideline. Based on a longitudinal observational study, 1027 fecal samples were collected from children (less than 5 years), suffering from diarrhea attended at the Yemeni Swedish hospital (YSH) in Taiz , Yemen from January 2009 to December 2012 . Rotavirus infection was detected by re – validated enzyme linkage immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on stool specimens of children. The treatment course consists of two methods, namely, intravenous rehydration fluid therapy (IV) for inpatient and oral rehydration fluid therapy (OR) for outpatient with treatment of the major symptoms, namely, fever and vomiting based on anti – pyretic and anti – emetic if necessary . The efficacy of therapy quality outcomes was assessed clinically and reported. Firstly, the results of re - validated ELISA method were precise to each analyte with percent relative standard deviation (RSD %) of intra-assay and inter – assay (< 5.0 %). Furthermore, the interval of accuracy for the method exhibited well recovery value of 93 - 100 % and the coefficient correlation (R2) value was 0.99 as a good linear method for Rotavirus infection. Secondly , A total of 581 out of 1027 (56.57 %) patients were admitted as inpatients for IV fluid therapy , while 446 (43.43 %) were seen in the outpatient ward receiving OR fluid therapy . The recovery of patients was 98.10 % for IV and 98.43 % for OR, statistically, that was not significantly different (p> 0.05) . In conclusion , A successful Rotavirus treatment guidelines in Yemen will rely upon best sustained diagnosis by application Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) which is clear in specific – precise , reliable and accurate method to detect the virus and the best efficacy of therapy by Good Clinical Practice (GCP) which is clear in treatment of Rotavirus diarrhea which protects against dehydration by fluid therapy .
