An outbreak of food-borne gastroenteritis in two hospitals associated with a Norwalk-like virus

J V Pether et al. J Hyg (Lond). 1983 Oct.

Abstract

Two connected outbreaks of gastroenteritis in separate hospitals associated with a small round structured virus morphologically indistinguishable from the Norwalk virus are described. The virus was most probably introduced on chicken sandwiches prepared by a member of the kitchen staff who was incubating the disease.
