诺如病毒通常会在社区中引起轻微疾病。然而，通过对常规入院统计数据进行建模，我们估计英国医院每年约有 3000 例诺如病毒入院，分别占活动高峰时段老年患者和成年患者急诊入院的 0.3% 和 0.1%。这些入院对随后爆发院内感染构成风险。
Norovirus generally causes a mild illness in the community. However, modeling routine hospital admission statistics, we estimate that similar to 3000 norovirus admissions to English hospitals occur per year, accounting for 0.3% and 0.1% of emergency admissions among elderly and adult patients, respectively, at times of peak activity. These admissions pose a risk for subsequent nosocomial infection outbreaks.
