¿Qué es Norovirus?
Norovirus is the leading cause of vomiting and diarrhea from acute gastroenteritis in the United States and globally. It causes approximately 21 million illnesses, 70,000 hospitalizations, and 800 deaths annually in the U.S. alone. The virus is extremely contagious - just a few viral particles can cause infection, and infected people can shed billions of virus particles.
Síntomas
- Sudden onset of nausea and vomiting
- Watery diarrhea
- Stomach cramps and abdominal pain
- Low-grade fever
- Body aches and headache
- Fatigue and weakness
Transmisión
Norovirus spreads through contaminated food or water, contact with contaminated surfaces, and direct person-to-person contact. The virus is extremely contagious and only a few viral particles are needed to cause infection. Outbreaks are common in closed environments like cruise ships, schools, and nursing homes.
Período de Contagio: From symptom onset through at least 3 days after recovery (virus can be shed up to 2 weeks)
Prevención
- Thorough handwashing with soap and water (alcohol sanitizers less effective)
- Wash fruits and vegetables before eating
- Cook shellfish thoroughly
- Clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces with bleach-based cleaners
- Stay home when sick and for 48 hours after symptoms resolve
- Avoid preparing food for others when ill
