Outbreak of gastro-entiritis in summer camps
Transmission: • person-to-person spread • Waterborne (drinking water, taking showers, washing dishes) • Foodborne • Environemental • [Animal to person (leptospirosis)]
![Page 8: Gastroentiritis in summer camps - Sciensano · 2018. 5. 28. · • Gastroenteritis may be caused by a variety of different bacteria, viruses or parasites. • Symptoms: Diarrhoea,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071405/60f9c233ccbd627bf6513da3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Gastroenteritis may be caused by a variety of different bacteria, viruses or parasites.
• Symptoms: Diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pains may be experienced over several hours, days or weeks, and may also be accompanied by fever, headache. • Incubation time can vary from a few hours to several days (after the closure of the camp).

Outbreak of gastroentiritis in summer camps
Pathogens -> Most frequent : NOROVIRUS (!! Aerosol transmission, person-to-person, environmental, water and foodborne) • Bacteria (salmonella, campylobacter, E. Coli, shigella, C. perfringens) • Virus (norovirus, rotavirus, hepatitis A, …) • Parasites (giardia, cryptosporidium,…)
![Page 10: Gastroentiritis in summer camps - Sciensano · 2018. 5. 28. · • Gastroenteritis may be caused by a variety of different bacteria, viruses or parasites. • Symptoms: Diarrhoea,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071405/60f9c233ccbd627bf6513da3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Focus on NOROVIRUS • Highly infectious (transmitted from person to person
by faecal-oral spread, via aerosolised vomit and by consuming contaminated food or water, touching contaminated surfaces)
• Can survive in the environment for weeks • Incubation period : 12-48 hours • Symptoms : vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain,
only 24–72 hours.

When/why it’s important to notify GE outbreak to public health authorities? • To help prevent further spread of illness • To eliminate sources of infection such as contaminated products
• AFSCA/FAVV notifications
• Sick staff/Huge number of sick people • Gravity (112 call, hospitalisations) • Responsabilities (local authorities/GP) • Following camps • Closure?
![Page 12: Gastroentiritis in summer camps - Sciensano · 2018. 5. 28. · • Gastroenteritis may be caused by a variety of different bacteria, viruses or parasites. • Symptoms: Diarrhoea,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071405/60f9c233ccbd627bf6513da3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
And about notifications in Belgium?
• Few declarations compared to the number of camps organised • Camps already finished when outbreak is notified • Difficulty to have human samples • Collaboration with local authorities (local delegate)

Contact with the camp leader day 9 Friday morning
More participants got sick Information on activities, exposure and

A quick decision on Friday morning
We decided to visit the camp and to collect some data Also we wanted to take some additional samples
We designed a questionnaire in one hour
Inclusion of some exposure risks and printed 120 copies We packed some bottles for stool samples
We informed our headquarter and went off

The results
Impression Stone houses as dormitoirs The eldest group used tents Sanitation room spacy with rows of toilets and showers Sufficient taps available with each having a bottle of Dettol. Corvée groups were cleaning sanitary space On different places activities in the open air were going on The cooking group preparing meals under a stone roof Sick-bay with about 10 beds some were bunk beds

Problems mentionned Because the place often was used for campingactivities of groups, places to drop waist were considered too few. This caused some odour nuissance.
Many of the supervisors were tired because of the cleaning of the dormitoirs when someone got sick, transfers to the sick-bay, caring for the sick, seeking medical help, contact home etc. No agreement within the staff of the camp to end the camp.

Actions We provided about 8 people with a bundle of questionnaires and asked them to get them dispersed under the participants (including staff). Another supervisor was responsible to collect 6 stool samples of sick persons Inspection of the premisis Handhygiene and hygiene education
I visited the sick-bay

conclusion • Giardia and blastocystis most likely not acquired but already present • Saturday night “fever” probably the introduction of the norovirus • Activities probably related to disease but multifocal • Quick and “dirty” research too “dirty” to get significant results • Hygenic circumstances obvious not very good • Isolation probably not effective
