Clin Infect Dis: Scientists have found the main culprit for the common acute gastroenteritis, the NOra virus of the GII.4 genotype.

August 13, 2020 // -- Scientists from Vanderburg University and others have revealed the culprits for acute gastroenteritis in a recent study published in the international journal Clinical Infectious Diseases entitled "Features of GII.4 Norovirus other Genotypes in Sporadic Pediatrics in County Davidson, Tennessee, USA."

researcher Dr Zaid Haddadin said: 'Over the past three years, we have compared the clinical characteristics and distribution of noel virus genotypes in different children's bodies by collecting samples from children treated with acute gastroenteritis in three clinical settings (outpatients, emergency patients and inpatients).
Of the 2,885 children, the detection rate of noel virus in feces was 22%, nearly 90% of the positive children were GII genotypes, and the proportion of GII.4 genotypes in GII genotype-positive samples was 51%.
researchers point out that children infected with the GII.4 genotype noruvirus tend to be smaller and have more severe symptoms of infection than children with non-GII.4 genotype noru virus infection;
