| Noroviruses are a group of RNA viruses which are highly infectious and stable in the environment. Mostly transmitted person to person in outbreaks, noroviruses are the leading cause of epidemic nonbacterial gastroenteritis worldwide often affecting the elderly in long-term care facilities and hospitals. Although Noroviruses cause a mild illness of short duration, severe dehydration or electrolyte imbalance can be a contributing cause to death in vulnerable populations. Significantly, current evidence suggests that the magnitude and severity of norovirus epidemics is growing.
This DiseaseINFOPACK report is an expert review of the current literature (September 2008) providing the reader with a full easy-to-read overview of the pathogen, its epidemiology, through to its clinical impact and current management. The report also includes analysis of current disease trends and future dynamics. Please note: this is delivered as a Zip file. |
