Norovirus (NoV), formerly Norwalk-like virus is the most\n   common cause of acute gastroenteritis in humans of all ages. It is known that\n   90% of viral gastroenteritis and about 60-85% of all outbreaks of\n   gastroenteritis, especially in the territory of United States of America,\n   Europe and Japan are caused by this virus. For the countries of the northern\n   hemisphere, individual cases and outbreaks of acute NoV gastroenteritis\n   appear in seasonal pattern, mainly during the winter months. The aim of this\n   study was to describe characteristics of acute gastroenteritis with the\n   established NoV etiology in Serbia. Methods. The study group included 88\n   patients with the symptoms of acute gastroenteritis, throughout the year 2010\n   and 2011. From all the patients, stool samples were taken less than three\n   days from the onset of symptoms. Detection of NoV in stool samples was\n   performed by commercial qualitative immuno-chromatography assay. Statistical\n   analysis included application of ?2 test, Mann-Whitney U-test,\n   Kruskal-Wallis's test, Spearman?s rank correlation test and logistic\n   regression analysis. Results. Outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis caused by\n   NoV were recorded to be the most common in children with the incidence of\n   infection of 50% in the age group 0-15 years. Analysis of individual symptoms\n   in the NoV proven infection, showed that diarrhea was the most common\n   symptom, followed by vomiting especially in small children, while abdominal\n   pain was most common in elderly (? 65 years). The presence of frequent\n   vomiting, more than 4 times\/day, indicated NoV infection in the women, while\n   for men the infection was always presented with diarrhea. Conclusion. The\n   obtained results confirmed that small children and elderly are the most\n   susceptible to NoV infection and that out-breaks are more frequent in the\n   winter months. Those who consumed food in restaurants and other public\n   facilities were not at higher risk for NoV infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2298\/vsp1504328r","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,1]],"date-time":"2015-04-01T16:52:03Z","timestamp":1427907123000},"page":"328-333","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Characteristics of Norovirus infection in Serbia"],"prefix":"10.2298","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"Tijana","family":"Relic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Public Health of Belgrade, Belgrade"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivana","family":"Begovic-Lazarevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Public Health of Belgrade, Belgrade"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nevenka","family":"Pavlovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Public Health of Belgrade, Belgrade"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2938-942X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nevenka","family":"Ilic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Public Health of Kragujevac, Kragujevac"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hranislav","family":"Kacarevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Public Health of Belgrade, Belgrade"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dara","family":"Jovanovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Public Health of Belgrade, Belgrade"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1118-3178","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gordana","family":"Kostic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Centre Kragujevac, Pediatric Clinic, Kragujevac"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6795-1378","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivana","family":"Lazarevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Microbiology and Immunology, Belgrade"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1078","container-title":["Vojnosanitetski pregled","Military Medical and Pharmaceutical Journal of Serbia"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,29]],"date-time":"2023-05-29T11:16:18Z","timestamp":1685358978000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/doiserbia.nb.rs\/Article.aspx?ID=0042-84501504328R"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2298\/vsp1504328r","relation":{},"ISSN":["0042-8450","2406-0720"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0042-8450"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2406-0720"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}}}
