PURPOSE: Norovirus gastroenteritis, known to cause 'winter vomiting disease' is increasingly being identified as a major cause of viral gastroenteritis worldwide. The impact and prevalence of this viral disease are lacking in many parts of India including northeast India. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and association of norovirus gastroenteritis among under-five-year-old hospitalized children in two cities in northeast India (Dibrugarh in Assam & Dimapur in Nagaland).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 407 randomly selected diarrheal stool samples was conducted using a commercial multiplex probed-based real-time RT-PCR assay capable of detecting six-viral gastroenteritis pathogens including Norovirus GI, Norovirus GII, Rotavirus, Human Adenovirus, Human Astrovirus, and Sapovirus.
RESULTS: Results showed that norovirus was detected in 18.4% of the samples (75/407; 95% CI: 14.8%-22.5%), with norovirus genogroup II being the predominant group in 97.3% of norovirus cases. A significant association of norovirus diarrhea was found with seasonality, with higher prevalence in colder months compared to warmer months (22.4% vs 9.1%, p-value:0.002). Additionally, 66.7% (50/75) of cases of norovirus gastroenteritis had reported vomiting as the major symptom and had a shorter duration of diarrhea (p-value 0.03). Co-infections with other viral pathogens were seen in 45.9% (187/407) of the cases. The detection of rotavirus was 67.1% (273/407), human adenovirus (45.9%; 187/407), sapovirus and astrovirus (5.9%, 24/407 each), and norovirus GI (0.5%, 2/407) among the cases.
CONCLUSION: This study reports the prevalence of norovirus gastroenteritis in northeast India and further highlights that norovirus gastroenteritis is responsible for substantial cases of hospitalization of under-five years children in the region.
