  Since the advent of the rotavirus vaccine, norovirus has become the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis in the United States, responsible for 19 to 21 million total illnesses per year. It is estimated to cause 56,000-71,000 hospitalizations and 570-800 deaths annually in the United States. […] Nursing Management includes assessing vital signs, encouraging intake of fluids, educating caregivers about viral gastroenteritis, assessing infants/children for abdominal pain and nausea, assessing ins and outs, assessing for signs of dehydration, educating about handwashing and proper hygiene measures, educating about the importance of clean water for cooking, encouraging the parent to follow up with medical care, and educating caregivers about the rotavirus vaccine.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK568704/

  Norovirus is a single-stranded RNA member of the calicivirus family. It is the most common cause of epidemic diarrheal illness, accounting for over 90% of viral gastroenteritis outbreaks and approximately 50% of cases worldwide. Norovirus presents most commonly with abdominal cramps and nausea followed by vomiting and/or diarrhea. Onset can be abrupt. Symptoms also include myalgias, malaise, and low-grade fevers up to 39 C. Diarrhea is non-bloody and can consist of multiple bowel movements per day. The illness is self-limiting, and most patients have recovered in 72 hours without sequelae. Elderly individuals and immunocompromised patients may have a more severe and prolonged illness. […] Norovirus infection causes histopathologic changes in the jejunum of blunted villi with intact mucosa. These changes occur quickly and usually resolve by two weeks after the onset of illness. Fat and d-xylose absorption decrease as does brush border enzyme activity leading to diarrhea.

  Norovirus infection can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea that start suddenly. Noroviruses are highly contagious. They commonly spread through food or water that is contaminated during preparation or through contaminated surfaces. Noroviruses can also spread through close contact with a person who has norovirus infection. […] Most people recover completely without treatment. However, for some people — especially young children, older adults and people with other medical conditions — vomiting and diarrhea can be severely dehydrating and require medical attention. […] Norovirus infection occurs most frequently in closed and crowded environments. Examples include hospitals, nursing homes, child care centers, schools and cruise ships. […] Seek medical attention if you develop diarrhea that doesn’t go away within several days. Also call your health care provider if you experience severe vomiting, bloody stools, stomach pain or dehydration.

• #8 Norovirus – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norovirus

  Norovirus infection is characterized by nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, and in some cases, loss of taste. A person usually develops symptoms of gastroenteritis 12 to 48 hours after being exposed to norovirus. General lethargy, weakness, muscle aches, headaches, and low-grade fevers may occur. The disease is usually self-limiting, and severe illness is rare. Although having norovirus can be unpleasant, it is not usually dangerous, and most who contract it make a full recovery within two to three days. […] Norovirus can establish a long-term infection in people who are immunocompromised, such as those with common variable immunodeficiency or with a suppressed immune system after organ transplantation. These infections can be with or without symptoms. In severe cases, persistent infections can lead to norovirus-associated enteropathy, intestinal villous atrophy, and malabsorption.

  Norovirus outbreaks are most common between November and April when an estimated 19 million to 21 million people get sick from the virus each year, which is why it has been nicknamed „the winter vomiting bug.” […] Proper handwashing is key to preventing a norovirus infection. That means washing hands frequently with soap and water, especially before eating or handling food, before giving or taking medicine, and after using the toilet or changing a diaper. […] There is no medication that specifically treats norovirus; antibiotics treat bacterial diseases, such as bacterial pneumonia, and don’t help with viruses. […] Young children, older adults, and/or those who are immunocompromised face a higher risk for complications than others. Each year, there are 900 norovirus-related deaths, mostly among adults ages 65 years and older. The biggest complication is dehydration, and anyone experiencing severe dehydration with symptoms including light-headedness, confusion, and passing out should seek medical care right away, since this complication may require hospitalization and treatment with intravenous fluids.

[…] Norovirus infection can be prevented with frequent handwashing using soap and water, cleaning surfaces and objects, staying home while sick, and safe food handling. Most people fully recover by resting and staying hydrated. […] You can prevent the spread of norovirus by handwashing, cleaning surfaces and objects, staying home while sick, and proper food handling. […] If you are sick with vomiting or diarrhea, stay home for 2 days (48 hours) after symptoms stop to avoid infecting others. […] There is no specific treatment for norovirus and most people get better on their own. You can take medicine to reduce diarrhea and vomiting. You should also drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. If you get dry skin, dry mouth, or dry eyes, go to a doctor or hospital immediately.

• #73 Risk factors for norovirus infection in healthcare workers during nosocomial outbreaks: a cross-sectional study | Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control | Full Text

  https://aricjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13756-021-00979-8

  Norovirus outbreaks cause severe medico-socio-economic problems affecting healthcare workers and patients. The aim of the study was to investigate prevalence of norovirus infection and risk factors for infection in healthcare workers during nosocomial outbreaks. Work in cohort care (OR 4.8, 95% CI 1.416.3), work in wards for patients with dementia (OR 13.2, 95% CI 1.01170.7), and having diarrhoea, loose stools or other gastrointestinal symptoms the last week (OR 7.7, 95% CI 2.527.2) were associated with increased norovirus prevalence in healthcare workers. Norovirus positive findings in healthcare workers were strongly associated with symptomatic infection, close contact with sick patients, and dementia nursing. This cross-sectional study of HCWs carried out during nosocomial outbreaks in hospital wards showed that NoV infections were strongly associated with symptomatic infection, close contact with sick patients, and dementia nursing. Since work with cohort care was also strongly associated with positive NoV findings, hygiene measures need to be further improved to control viral spread to HCW during nosocomial outbreaks. […] Staff were recommended not to work at more that one ward during outbreak. Current hygiene routines regarding the staff handling of faeces and vomits were evidently not sufficiently strict, and improved hygiene in form of obligatory hand washing after removal of gloves was suggested.

  If you have norovirus, you probably won’t soon forget it—even though you’d like to. “Norovirus is an illness that causes diarrhea, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting,” explains Kimon Zachary, MD, a Mass General Brigham infectious diseases doctor. “For most people, it’s not dangerous, but it’s definitely unpleasant.” […] Dr. Zachary shares the signs and symptoms of norovirus, how to prevent infection, and what to do if you get sick. […] If you suspect someone in your household has norovirus, everyone in the house should wash hands often, Dr. Zachary adds. You should also clean any potentially contaminated surfaces with a cleaning product that contains bleach. “It’s hard to prevent spread within the household, but it’s worth a try,” he says. […] Most people can manage the illness on their own at home. But it may be more severe in people who have other serious medical conditions. Diarrhea and vomiting can lead to dehydration, so norovirus can be particularly concerning for people who are vulnerable to dehydration, such as those with heart or kidney disease.

But in some people especially young children; older adults; and people with weakened immune systems or other medical conditions or who are pregnant norovirus infection can be severe. Norovirus infection can cause severe dehydration and even death. […] To help prevent norovirus infection spread, during illness and for 2 to 3 days after your symptoms end: Avoid contact with others as much as possible. […] It’s important to replace lost fluids. Oral rehydration solutions may be used. If you’re not able to drink enough fluids to prevent dehydration, you might need to receive fluids through a vein (intravenous). […] If your family includes young children, it’s a good idea to have commercially prepared oral rehydration solutions on hand. […] Remember that norovirus infection is highly contagious.

  A diverse set of recommendations for the prevention and control of norovirus outbreaks are needed, given the various transmission modes by which norovirus spreads and the lack of a magic bullet to curtail transmission. […] Enhanced cleaning and disinfection protocols may control and prevent the spread of norovirus. […] Isolation, cohorting (grouping of patients on the basis of symptoms) and exclusion of symptomatic staff, patients and visitors constitute another class of recommended strategies for infection control. […] A common theme in several national guidelines is the value of an organizational structure within a healthcare institution that is capable of providing timely response to outbreaks. […] Contaminated hands and surfaces may both contribute to norovirus transmission via regular interactions between hands and their surroundings, and hand and surface interventions should therefore complement each other.
