These studies suggest that norovirus infection primarily causes acute gastroenteritis with symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, and can also lead to convulsive disorders in young infants, with severity and specific symptoms varying based on factors like age, immune status, and genetic susceptibility related to HBGA phenotypes.
Norovirus infection is a leading cause of gastroenteritis, characterized by symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach pain. It is highly contagious and can cause outbreaks in various settings.
Symptoms of Norovirus Infection:
Age-Related Symptom Variation:
Duration and Severity of Symptoms:
Asymptomatic Infections:
Norovirus infection commonly presents with acute gastroenteritis symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and fever, which are self-limiting and resolve within a few days. Children may experience convulsions, and symptom severity can vary with age. Chronic and asymptomatic infections occur, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, with the latter still capable of viral shedding. Overall, norovirus is a significant cause of gastroenteritis with a range of clinical manifestations.
