The incidence of infectious diseases among athletes during international competitions is a concern for public health. In this study, we aim to report six cases of norovirus-associated gastroenteritis among athletes in Lima 2019 Pan American Games, a multisport event held in Peru.
During the Lima 2019 event, there were no reported outbreaks or cases of most frequent diseases, however, six cases (0.09%) of norovirus-associated gastroenteritis were reported. The clinical stage of the cases was self-limited to 2 days, and the main treatment was fluid replacement. Of the six affected athletes, five came from the United States and one from Chile. Only one karate athlete from the United States, could not continue with the competition due to the illness.
The incidence of norovirus-associated gastroenteritis among athletes in Lima 2019 was low, and the clinical course of the illness was self-limited. We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records of athletes who presented with gastroenteritis using the Panam Sport In previous sporting events, such as the 2017 World Athletics Championships in London, Injury and Illness Surveillance System. These findings can inform the development of public health strategies for the prevention and control of infectious diseases among athletes during international competitions.
国际比赛期间运动员中传染病的发病率是公共卫生关注的问题。在本研究中，我们旨在报告2019年利马泛美运动会（在秘鲁举行的一项多项目体育赛事）中6例与诺如病毒相关的肠胃炎病例。
在2019年利马赛事期间，没有报告大多数常见疾病的暴发或病例，然而，报告了6例（0.09%）与诺如病毒相关的肠胃炎病例。这些病例的临床阶段自限为2天，主要治疗方法是补液。在6名受影响的运动员中，5名来自美国，1名来自智利。只有1名来自美国的空手道运动员因病无法继续比赛。
2019年利马运动员中与诺如病毒相关的肠胃炎发病率较低，疾病的临床过程是自限性的。我们使用泛美体育组织的伤病监测系统，对出现肠胃炎的运动员的病历进行了回顾性分析。在之前的体育赛事中，如2017年伦敦世界田径锦标赛。这些发现可为制定国际比赛期间运动员传染病预防和控制的公共卫生策略提供参考。
