Implication

May prompt sapovirus testing in gastroenteritis outbreaks; extends recombinant strain reports from case data but leaves generalizability open.

Structured PICO

P
Population
35 persons (12 from a college, 23 from a kindergarten) reporting symptoms of gastroenteritis in Hokkaido, Japan
O
Outcome
Detection, genetic characterization, and viral load quantification of sapovirus from stool specimens

Recombinant sapovirus strains can cause gastroenteritis outbreaks and exhibit high viral shedding loads in stool.

Limitations

  • Further studies are needed with other sapovirus strains to elucidate if a high degree of shedding caused the outbreak
