1980年8月爆发的胃肠炎持续了1周，北方格鲁吉亚[美国]的一个社区有1500人。调查包括对社区的电话调查，对纺织厂员工和初中和高中学生和员工的调查，以及对社区的挨家挨户调查。胃肠疾病和饮用水的消费之间的关联显示为社区居民，学生和学校工作人员。在109个社区中确定的攻击率（0-68%）随着靠近纺织厂而显著增加（P < 0.001），纺织厂是工业用水系统（含有粪大肠菌群）和社区用水系统之间2个已知交叉连接的地点之一。在91对患者血清中，有12对诺瓦克病毒抗体滴度升高4倍。诺瓦克病毒病与饮用水从一个大的城市供水系统以前没有记录。诺瓦克病毒可能是美国水传播疾病的一个重要原因。
An outbreak of gastroenteritis lasting for 1 wk in Aug. 1980 affected .apprx. 1500 persons in a community in northern Georgia [USA]. Investigation included a telephone survey of the community, a survey of textile plant employees and junior high and high school students and staff, and a neighborhood door-to-door survey. An association between gastrointestinal illness and consumption of drinking water was shown for community residents, students and school staff. Attack rates (0-68%) determined in 109 neighborhoods increased significantly (P < 0.001) with proximity to a textile plant, the site of 1 of 2 known cross-connections between an industrial water system (which contained fecal coliform bacteria) and the community water system. A 4-fold rise in titer of antibody to Norwalk virus was found in 12 of 91 serum pairs from patients. Norwalk virus illness associated with drinking water from a large municipal water system has not been documented previously. Norwalk virus may be an important cause of waterborne morbidity in the USA.
