2006 Record Breaking Year State of Oregon received 119 Noro outbreaks reports 25 were Marion County’s 2007—seven in January (record)
Slide 23-

On to Another Record Breaking Year “Norovirus outbreaks in Oregon ahead of last year’s record pace”—Headline in 1/12/2007 Statesman Journal CDC Norovirus specialist—current outbreak of illness appears to be the worst since 2002-2003 Don’t know why—speculate different strain, easier to transmit, spawns more severe symptoms
Slide 24-

What are noroviruses? Group of viruses that cause the “stomach flu,” or gastroenteritis The term norovirus was recently approved as the official name for this group of viruses Approximately 23 million cases each year in U.S. Leading cause of outbreaks of gastroenteritis
Slide 25-

Norovirus Symptoms Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps Sometimes low-grade fever, chills, headache, myalgia, fatigue Often begins suddenly, and the infected person may feel very sick
Slide 26-

Incubation, Duration, Communicability Incubation period (how long does it take to get sick): 12 - 48 hours (median in outbreaks is 33 - 36 hours) Duration of illness: Typically 1 – 2 days Contagious period: onset through 72 hours after recovery
Slide 27-

How serious is it? Usually not serious, although people may feel very sick and vomit many times a day Most get better within 1 or 2 days, and they have no long-term health effects related to their illness Can be serious for the very young, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems due to dehydration
Slide 28-

Transmission Found in the stool and vomit of infected people Infective dose as few as 10 viral particles Can be transmitted several ways: Eating food or drinking liquids that are contaminated with norovirus Direct person-to-person spread Airborne and fomite transmission in droplets contaminating surfaces or entering the mouth and being swallowed
Slide 29-

Immunity Limited immunity, may be strain specific and last only a few months Can recur throughout a person’s lifetime Some people are more likely to become infected and develop more severe illness than others Example: people with O blood group most susceptible
Slide 30-

Norovirus (Stomach ‘Flu’) Treatment Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration No antiviral medication No vaccine to prevent Norovirus Cannot be treated with antibiotics because antibiotics work to fight bacteria, not viruses
Slide 31-

Cleaning If possible, wear gloves, mask when cleaning up vomit or diarrhea Contaminated hard surfaces: soak up excess liquid with paper towels, thoroughly clean with hot water and detergent, and disinfect with a bleach solution (5 Tablespoons of 6% household bleach to one gallon of water) Contaminated carpets: soak up excess liquid with paper towels, clean with hot water and detergent, then disinfect with bleach solution (if bleach-resistant) or steam clean Frequently clean hand contact surfaces, e.g. door handles, railings, tabletops, bathroom fixtures, etc. with bleach solution
