Norovirus Causes Most Hospital Infection Outbreaks

Feb. 2, 2012 -- Norovirus is the leading cause of infection outbreaks in hospitals throughout the country, a new study reveals.

The virus, which causes a "stomach flu" known as gastroenteritis, was the culprit in some 18% of all outbreaks in U.S. hospitals during a two-year period. It also was responsible for 65% of unit closures in health care facilities.

Norovirus has also been associated with outbreaks on cruise ships.

Symptoms of norovirus infection include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. In a hospital setting, this rapidly spreading infection can be transmitted from person to person by having direct contact with someone who has the virus, by touching contaminated objects or surfaces, or from eating contaminated food or water.

The virus is found in the vomit or stool of infected people.

For this study, researchers sent out more than 5,000 online surveys to professionals involved in controlling and preventing hospital infections. They were asked to describe the type and number of infectious outbreaks at their facilities between 2008 and 2009. They were also asked if these outbreaks were investigated within the hospital or with help from a state health department.

Of the 822 U.S. institutions responding to the survey, 289 of them, or 35%, had investigated at least one infectious outbreak during the two-year period.

"It is clear that outbreaks of health care associated infections occur with some frequency in hospitals as well as non-acute settings," the researchers write.
