Noroviruses (NoVs) are a leading cause of viral gastroenteritis in humans. In the present study, the association between NoV susceptibility and the ABO histo-blood group was studied during 2 outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis in military units in Israel caused by genogroup II (GII) NoVs. The findings demonstrate that, unlike for genogroup I of NoV, there is no association between the ABO histo-blood group and clinical infection with GII NoVs. This is the largest study to test the association between NoVs, proven clinical infection with GII, and the ABO histo-blood group.
诺如病毒(NoVs)是人类病毒性肠胃炎的主要病因。在本研究中,在以色列军事单位由II型基因群(GII)诺如病毒引起的2次急性肠胃炎暴发期间,对诺如病毒易感性与ABO组织血型之间的关联进行了研究。研究结果表明,与I型基因群诺如病毒不同,ABO组织血型与GII型诺如病毒的临床感染之间没有关联。这是检验诺如病毒、已证实的GII临床感染与ABO组织血型之间关联的规模最大的研究。
