Objectives

To determine the aetiological agent causing a gastroenteritis outbreak in two hotels in Majorca (Spain) on August and September 2014.

Methods

An epidemiological study was carried out. Environmental and stool samples were analyzed for different pathogens, including norovirus.

Results

Epidemiological analysis detected 79 cases among the tourists hosted in the affected hotels over the period 18th August to 3rd September. They included 52 (attack rate: 6.4%) and 27 (attack rate: 3.0%) cases in hotel A and B, respectively. Seven of the staff members were also affected. Microbiological analyses detected genotype 2 norovirus in patient's stool samples, in rooms and in common areas’ surfaces. The specific control plan rapidly implemented at the beginning of the outbreak, and further adapted for norovirus elimination, allowed to control the outbreak.

Conclusions

Our study demonstrates that the outbreak was caused by genotype 2 norovirus, and reflects the importance of a rapid analysis and response for its control.

2014 年在西班牙的两家酒店中对导致胃肠炎的诺如病毒爆发进行了有效管理。

目标

确定导致 2014 年 8 月和 9 月在马略卡岛(西班牙)的两家酒店爆发肠胃炎的病原体。

方法

进行了流行病学研究。环境和粪便样本分析了不同的病原体,包括诺如病毒。

结果

流行病学分析在8月18日至9月3日期间在受影响酒店接待的游客中发现了79例病例。它们分别包括酒店 A 和 B 的 52(攻击率:6.4%)和 27(攻击率:3.0%)案例。七名工作人员也受到影响。微生物分析在患者的粪便样本、房间和公共区域的表面检测到基因 2 型诺如病毒。具体控制方案在疫情初期迅速实施,并进一步适应了诺如病毒的消除,最终控制了疫情。

结论

我们的研究表明,暴发是由基因型 2 诺如病毒引起的,反映了对其控制进行快速分析和响应的重要性。
