Abstract

Between May14 and 18, 2001, there was an outbreak of acute gastroenteritis involving 45 school children out of a total of 107 (aged 11-12 years) attending a 3-day school trip VSports手机版. The epidemic curve characterized by a rapid onset and decline with a single peak incidence over a 5-day period resembled the pattern typical of a food-borne gastroenteritis outbreak. Epidemiological and virological investigations concluded, however, that this outbreak was caused by a single strain of serotype G2 group A rotavirus spreading to schoolmates from the primary case-pupil who had already been ill at the start of the trip. Efficient person-to-person transmission was likely to have occurred due to prolonged and close contacts under the conditions typical of such school trips. This study emphasizes the importance of including group A rotavirus infection as a possible cause of gastroenteritis outbreaks even in older children and adults. .
