RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Gastroenteritis is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in children and an important etiological agent is norovirus. OBJECTIVE: We describe the occurrence and characteristics of norovirus diarrhoea in children from Sergipe, Northeast-Brazil, over two consecutive periods of three years following rotavirus vaccine introduction. STUDY DESIGN: A cross sectional hospital-based survey conducted from October-2006 to September-2009 and from July-2011 to January-2013. Acute diarrhoea cases had a stool sample collected and tested for norovirus by RT-PCR and positive samples were sequenced. RESULTS: In total 280 (19.6%) of 1432 samples were norovirus positive, including 204 (18.3%) of 1113 samples collected during the first period and 76 (23.9%) of 318 collected during the second period. The proportion of children with norovirus infection increased significantly through the second study period (χ2 for trend=6.7; p=0.009), was more frequent in rotavirus vaccinated and in younger children (p<0.001). Of 280 norovirus-positive specimens, 188 (67.1%) were sequenced. Of these, 12 were genogroup I and 176 genogroup II. The main genotype was GII.4 (149/188, 79.3%), followed by GII.2 (6, 3.2%) and GII.6 (5, 2.6%). CONCLUSION: Norovirus annual detection rates increased over the study period. The detection of norovirus was higher among young children.
