Clinical and virological characteristics of viral shedding in children with norovirus gastroenteritis lee2022clinical
Study of pediatric norovirus gastroenteritis cases admitted to Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (Taiwan) during 2017–2018. Norovirus was quantified from fecal specimens using a SYBR Green-based real-time qRT-PCR method and genotypes were characterized by sequencing. CSV figure data provide norovirus concentrations over days after symptom onset, reported either as gc/mL (many participants) or gc/wet gram (one immunocompromised patient with prolonged shedding).
Analytes
gc_ml
Norovirus RNA concentration measured by SYBR Green-based real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) from fecal specimen extract; values reported as gene copies per mL (gc/mL).
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.
gc_wet_gram
Norovirus RNA concentration measured by SYBR Green-based real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) from stool; values reported as gene copies per wet gram (gc/wet gram).
