On 4 April 2008, 1 day after vaccination with ROTARIX, the subject presented upper respiratory tract infection not specified and characterised by fever, vomiting and not oral acceptance. The subject was treated with Paracetamol and Ampicillin without improvement. On 7 April 2008, the subject continued with vomiting and fever.
