In March 2010, a massive outbreak of gastroenteritis started in the region of Antofagasta (northern Chile). The outbreak was mainly attributed to Norovirus genogroup II although ETEC strains were also isolated with high frequency from clinical samples. We review this outbreak and determined that ETEC was an underestimated etiologic agent.
2010年3月,智利北部安托法加斯塔地区暴发了大规模肠胃炎疫情。此次疫情主要归因于诺如病毒II基因组,不过从临床样本中也高频分离出了肠毒素性大肠杆菌(ETEC)菌株。我们回顾了此次疫情,并确定ETEC是一种被低估的病原体。
