ABSTRACT

Rotavirus acute gastroenteritis, continues to be one of the most common cause of morbidity in children younger than 2 years of age. However, it is not often to report outbreaks in neonatal intensive care units. The aim of this paper was to describe the epidemiological investigation of a Rotavirus outbreak, the viral transmission between infants and the control measures taken.
Materials and Methods: An outbrake study was performed in a neonatal intermediate care unit due to the presence of Rotavirus gastroenteritis cases.
Results: We identified 3 rotavirus gastroenteritis cases confirmed by direct antigen detection, the source could not be identified.
Discussion: We considered a transmission mechanism of propagated source because infected people excreted large number of viral particles and cause widespread environmental contamination.
Conclusion: Quickly case identification and implemented implementation of control measures prevent new cases and limits the spread of the outbreak.
