Three nursing home outbreaks of Norwalk-like virus in Brisbane in 1999.
Communicable Diseases Intelligence 2000 August
We report on three nursing home outbreaks of gastroenteritis in Brisbane in 1999. The presence of Norwalk-like virus (NLV) genogroup 2 was demonstrated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in all three outbreaks. Common findings of these investigations were rapid spread of the illness within the institutions and difficulties in identifying a common source. Nursing home populations are vulnerable and it is important for each institution to have infection control policies in place so outbreaks can be managed promptly. This includes the exclusion of ill staff for 48 to 72 hours after recovery from illness. Genogrouping of NLV by RT-PCR can take several days so control measures will generally have to be instituted before results become available.
