- METHODS: From March 2018 to October 2021, 1250 AGE case patients and controls (age, sex, season, and site matched) were enrolled at 10 hospitals. (cdc.gov)
- Data from the new reporting system demonstrates that transmission of norovirus levies a heavy burden on English hospitals. (cambridge.org)
- Norovirus outbreaks are most frequently reported in healthcare settings such as nursing homes, other long-term care facilities and hospitals [ Reference Patel 1 , Reference Hauri 3 , Reference Johnston 4 ]. (cambridge.org)
- The public health and financial impact of norovirus outbreaks in English hospitals was first illustrated by a study conducted in the county of Avon, in South West England, between 2002 and 2003 [ Reference Lopman 7 ]. (cambridge.org)
Patients4
- We described the epidemiology, risk factors, and genotypic distribution of noroviruses among hospitalized patients of all ages in Bangladesh. (cdc.gov)
- These sequences were collected from diverse settings, including outbreaks in healthcare facilities and food-serving sites, sporadic community cases, and hospitalized patients ( Technical Appendix [PDF - 462 KB - 7 pages] Table 1). (blogspot.com)
- Coronavirus Particles in faecal from Patients with Gastroenteritis. (scimedjournal.org)
- We conducted retrospective cohort studies of the 2 clusters of cases, which comprised 62 case patients. (lookformedical.com)
Burden4
- CONCLUSIONS: We highlight the burden of norovirus in hospital settings. (cdc.gov)
- Global Economic Burden of Norovirus Gastroenteritis. (medscape.com)
- Burden and aetiology of diarrhoeal disease in infants and young children in developing countries (the Global Enteric Multicenter Study, GEMS): a prospective, case-control study. (medscape.com)
- Footnote 2 The European Rotavirus Vaccination Advocacy Committee ( ERVAC ) has recently advocated introduction of rotavirus vaccine into childhood immunization programs, although the members agree that further studies on the burden of rotavirus gastroenteritis in Europe need to be done for a better evaluation of the cost and benefit of rotavirus vaccination programs. (canada.ca)
20161
- To study the phylodynamic transmission pattern of norovirus GII.17 Kawasaki, we analyzed full-length VP1 nucleotide sequences collected worldwide during late 2014 through early 2016. (blogspot.com)
Stool4
- Norovirus was first recognized as a cause of gastroenteritis in 1972, when it was detected in stool samples collected from infected elementary school students and contacts during an outbreak in Norwalk, Ohio, in 1968. (medscape.com)
- Stool samples submitted for diagnostic testing represent a proportion of diarrhoeal cases seeking healthcare, and an even smaller proportion of diarrhoeal cases in the community. (tendenzesg.it)
- Stool samples were seldom submitted for diagnostic testing (median of 10% of admitted cases). (tendenzesg.it)
- Only those cases consulting a healthcare professional and for whom the healthcare professional orders laboratory screening of a stool sample are included in this subset. (tendenzesg.it)
Diarrheal disease1
- Acute diarrheal disease in children: epidemiology, prevention, and treatment. (medscape.com)
Fever2
Genetic4
- The round blue ball structure of norovirus is a protein surrounding the virus's genetic material. (beforeitsnews.com)
- Once the genetic material has been transferred, norovirus reproduces, finally killing the human cells and releasing new copies of itself that attach to more cells of the intestine's lining. (beforeitsnews.com)
- Despite the broad genetic diversity, norovirus GII.4 has predominated during the past 20 years ( 1 ). (blogspot.com)
- In this study, we would investigate the prevalence and genetic diversity of noroviruses in the sporadic acute gastroenteritis cases in the post-GII.17 period in South China. (biomedcentral.com)
Surveillance3
- Outbreaks from 2002 through 2006 recorded in a European norovirus surveillance database were investigated for virologic and epidemiologic indicators of food relatedness. (cdc.gov)
- Genomic surveillance of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax cases at the University Hospital in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. (cdc.gov)
- The material in this report originated in the Epidemiology Program Office, Stephen B. Thacker, M.D., Director, and the Division of Public Health Surveillance and Informatics, Daniel M. Sosin, M.D., Director. (cdc.gov)
Incidence1
- The incidence of norovirus in the UK has been estimated at 3 million cases annually, and the impact and control of norovirus gastroenteritis is associated with significant costs to global healthcare systems. (patient.info)
