Abstract

Purpose : We evaluated the clinical features of Norovirus gastroenteritis compared with Rotavirus gastroenteritis in hospitalized children. Methods : We detected causative agents in 3,261 samples of children hospitalized with gastroenteritis symptoms at a single center of pediatrics between 2005 and 2006. Among 266 and 303 samples which tested positive for Norovirus and Rotavirus, we selected 73 and 182 samples of children with relatively pure gastroenteritis symptoms and retrospectively analyzed the corresponding medical records. Results : The male-to-female ratio of the Norovirus (+) and Rotavirus (+) groupswas 1.43:1 and 1.56:1 both groups were predominantly in males. The mean age of the Norovirus (+) and Rotavirus (+) groups was 36.7 and 24.4 months, respectively the children in the former group were older than the children in the latter group. The incidence in the Norovirus (+) group was more concentrated in the winter. The symptoms in the Norovirus (+), in decreasing order, included vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. The duration of vomiting, diarrhea, and fever was 2.1, 1.2, and 1.2 days. The maximum number of episodes of vomiting and diarrhea per day was 3.5 and 4.5, respectively. The severity score was 10.16. The symptoms inthe Rotavirus (+) group, in decreasing order, included diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. The duration of diarrhea, vomiting, and fever was 2.2, 4.3, and 2.2 days, respectively. The maximum number of episodes of vomiting and diarrhea per day was 3.3 and 6.5, respectively. The severity score was 11.9. The severity in the Norovirus (+) group was somewhat lower than the Rotavirus (+) group. The younger the child, the more severe the symptoms in the Norovirus (+) group. There was no difference between mono-and co-infection in severity and between the two groups regarding the hematologic findings. Conclusion : Based on the findings reported herein, additional studies about prophylaxis, as well as the epidemiology and clinical features of pediatric Norovirus gastroenteritis, are required.

목 적: 저자들은 입원 중인 환아들을 대상으로 노로바이러스 장염의 임상 특징을 로타바이러스 장염과 비교하여 조사하였다. 방 법: 2005년부터 2006년까지 한 소아과에 입원 중인, 위장관염 증세를 보여 대변 검사를 시행했던 3,261 검체의 원인체를 검출하였다. 노로바이러스 양성인 266개와 로타바이러스 양성인 303개의 검체 중, 비교적 순수하게 장염 증세만 보였던 노로바이러스 감염 73명과 로타바이러스 감염 182명의 검체를 선별하여 환아들의 임상 기록을 후향적으로 분석했다. 결 과: 노로바이러스 양성군의 남녀비는 1.43:1, 로타바이러스 양성군은 1.56:1로 두 군 모두 남아에서 검출률이 높았다. 평균(중간)연령은 각각 36.7 (22)개월과 24.4 (19)개월로 노로바이러스 양성군의 호발 연령이 더 많았다. 계절적으로 노로바이러스 양성군이 겨울에 국한되어 발생했다. 노로바이러스 양성군의 임상 증상은 구토, 설사, 발열 순이었고, 평균 구토기간은 2.1일, 설사기간은 1.2일, 발열기간은 1.2일, 하루 최대 구토 횟수는 3.5회, 설사 횟수는 4.5회로 전체적인 Severity score는 10.16점이었으며, 로타바이러스 양성군은 설사, 구토, 발열 순이었고, 평균 설사기간은 4.3일, 구토기간은 2.2일, 발열기간은 2.2일, 하루 최대 설사 횟수는 6.5회, 하루 최대 구토 횟수는 3.3회로 전체적인 Severity score는 11.9으로 나타나 노로바이러스 양성군이 증상의 중증도가 다소 낮았다. 노로바이러스 양성군은 어릴수록 증상의 중증도가 심하게 나타났으나, 로타바이러스 양성군은 연령에 따른 중증도의 차이를 보이지 않았다. 단독감염과 혼합감염의 중증도는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 혈액 검사 상 두 군 간에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론: 소아 노로바이러스 장염의 역학, 임상 증상 뿐만아니라 예방에 대한 더 많은 연구가 필요하다.
