Nosocomial acute gastroenteritis outbreak caused by an equine-like G3P[8] DS-1-like rotavirus and GII.4 Sydney[P16] norovirus at a pediatric hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2019 gutierrez2021nosocomial
This study investigates a nosocomial outbreak of acute gastroenteritis caused by rotavirus and norovirus at a pediatric hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in May 2019. The outbreak affected 30 individuals, including children and hospital staff. Nine stool samples were analyzed using RT-qPCR to detect and quantify the viruses. The study identified the circulation of equine-like G3P[8] DS-1-like rotavirus and GII.4 Sydney[P16] norovirus. The study emphasizes the importance of active surveillance and prevention measures to control nosocomial infections in hospital settings.
Analytes
stool_rotavirus_viral_load
Detection and quantification of rotavirus in stool samples using RT-qPCR targeting the NSP3 gene segment.
Measurements only — no shedding model is fitted to this analyte, usually because it is sampled once per participant, leaving no trajectory to fit, or because nothing was ever detected. Open triangles are non-detects, drawn at the assay's censoring limit. See the modelling methods for what these estimates do and do not support.
stool_norovirus_viral_load
Detection and quantification of norovirus in stool samples using RT-qPCR targeting the ORF1/2 junction region.
Measurements only — no shedding model is fitted to this analyte, usually because it is sampled once per participant, leaving no trajectory to fit, or because nothing was ever detected. Open triangles are non-detects, drawn at the assay's censoring limit. See the modelling methods for what these estimates do and do not support.
stool_rotavirus_CT
Ct value for rotavirus detection in stool samples using RT-qPCR targeting the NSP3 gene segment.
Measurements only — no shedding model is fitted to this analyte, usually because it is sampled once per participant, leaving no trajectory to fit, or because nothing was ever detected. Open triangles are non-detects, drawn at the assay's censoring limit. See the modelling methods for what these estimates do and do not support.
