“…During the case investigation into the attendants, we found that most attendants did not know that norovirus could be transmitted via daily contact, or that close contact to vomitus or diarrhea was risky. The epidemiological investigations into norovirus infection outbreaks in other elder care facilities and hospitals also showed that the asymptomatic staff can cause the transmission of norovirus (1,(16)(17)(18).…”

“…Although most norovirus infections are acute and self-limiting, the infection can become chronic in (i) solid-organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (2-4), (ii) patients undergoing chemotherapy (3,5,6), and patients with immunodeficiencies, including those caused by HIV infection (7)(8)(9)(10). Prolonged norovirus infection can also be observed in young children (11) and the elderly (12,13). Reduction of immunosuppressive therapy, when feasible, is the strategy of choice to control the infection in transplant recipients.…”
