最近的发现表明，一些新的(即以前未被认识的)感染性病原体是胃肠炎暴发的重要原因。不幸的是，在暴发中检测这些病原体的能力可能受到两个因素的限制：1)缺乏适当的分析--其中许多仍处于发展阶段，临床实验室无法随时获得；2)标本收集不足或收集不当。在疾控中心，许多新开发的检测方法正被用于研究和暴发调查。本报告中的信息特别适用于与疾控中心合作调查胃肠炎暴发的公共卫生机构。该报告提供了关于适当收集送往疾控中心的标本的指导方针和建议的最新情况，提供了有关最近发现的一些病原体的一般背景信息，列出了疾控中心可用的一些检测方法，并提供了疾控中心接触者的名单。提供的关于胃肠炎暴发原因的指南和一般信息也可供公共卫生工作者在可进行和适当的具体检测时用于调查。
Recent discoveries have implicated a number of "new" (i.e., previously unrecognized) infectious agents as important causes of outbreaks of gastroenteritis. Unfortunately, the ability to detect these agents in an outbreak can be limited by two factors: 1) the lack of appropriate assays-many of which are still in developmental stages and are not readily available to clinical laboratories, and 2) inadequately or improperly collected specimens. At CDC, many newly developed assays are being used for research and for outbreak investigations. The information in this report is especially intended for public health agencies that collaborate with CDC in investigating outbreaks of gastroenteritis. The report provides an update on guidelines and recommendations for the proper collection of specimens to be sent to CDC, gives general background information concerning some recently discovered pathogens, lists some of the tests available at CDC, and provides a list of CDC contacts. The guidelines and the general information provided on causes of outbreaks of gastroenteritis can be also used by public health workers for investigations when specific testing is available and appropriate.
