Noroviruses constitute an important cause of acute gastroenteritis, mainly in semi-closed populations such as hospitals, hotels and cruise ships. This study records the most important norovirus outbreak in the Dominican Republic in a single resort, with more than 800 people being affected in a 15-day period. Analysis of clinical and environmental samples demonstrated that norovirus was the aetiological agent responsible for the outbreak. Although enhanced hygiene and disinfection measures were achieved, the outbreak was only controlled after suspension of entry into the resort.
诺如病毒是急性肠胃炎的一个重要病因，主要发生在医院、宾馆和游轮等半封闭人群中。本研究记录了多米尼加共和国一个度假胜地爆发的一次最重要的诺如病毒疫情，在 15 天内有 800 多人受到感染。临床和环境样本分析表明，诺如病毒是导致此次疫情的病原体。尽管加强了卫生和消毒措施，但在暂停度假村游客进入后，疫情才得到控制。
