Zusammenfassung:Jenkins et al discuss the outbreak of gastroenteritis in US. In late 2006, CDC began receiving requests from numerous state public health departments for information about a perceived increase in the number of outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis (AGE), especially those involving person-to-person transmission in long-term-care facilities. Outbreaks were preceded by illness among food handlers in four of the 17 long-term-care facilities, suggesting that these outbreaks might have been caused initially by foodborne transmission. A CDC editorial note is included.
