Abstract
INTRODUÇÃO: O norovírus foi recentemente identificado como o principal causador de surtos de gastroenterite aguda de origem não bacteriana em todo o mundo e está envolvido em episódios de origem alimentar. Neste estudo, foram avaliados pacientes com sintomas de gastroenterite aguda pelo período de um ano, a fim de se avaliar duas metodologias na identificação do NoV - a reação em cadeia por polimerase convencional e em tempo real -, incidência, sazonalidade e genótipo predominante. MÉTODOS: Após a extração do RNA, 50 amostras foram analisadas pela metodologia de PCR convencional e 365 amostras foram analisadas pela metodologia de PCR em tempo real. Todas as amostras que apresentaram resultado positivo pelas duas metodologias ou discordante foram sequenciadas, ao todo, 13 amostras foram sequenciadas. RESULTADOS: Das 50 amostras testadas pelas duas metodologias, 7 apresentaram resultado positivo pelo método convencional e 15 pelo método da PCR em tempo real. Do total de 365 amostras testadas pela metodologia de PCR, em tempo real, 48 foram positivas. Em relação às amostras sequenciadas, todas mostraram ser NoV do genogrupo II. Em relação à distribuição da incidência de amostras, positivas para NoV, ao longo do ano, pôde ser observada uma frequência de casos positivos maior na primavera, chegando a 29,7% em novembro. CONCLUSÕES: Observamos que o PCR em tempo real é o método mais sensível para a identificação do Nov, que a incidência do NoV é de 13,2% e o genogrupo II prevalece na população avaliada, sendo a primavera o período de maior taxa de infecção.
INTRODUCTION: Norovírus was recently identified as the main cause of outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis of non-bacterial origin worldwide and it is involved in episodes of foodborne origin. In this study, patients with symptoms of acute gastroenteritis were evaluated over a one-year period, in order to evaluate two methods for identifying norovírus (real-time and conventional polymerase chain reaction), along with its incidence, seasonality and predominant genotype. METHODS: After RNA extraction, 50 samples were analyzed using conventional PCR and 365 were analyzed using real-time PCR. All the samples that presented positive results using both methods or discordant results were sequenced. In all, 13 samples were sequenced. RESULTS: Out of the 50 samples tested using both methods, seven presented a positive result from the conventional method and 15 from real-time PCR. Out of the total of 365 samples tested using real-time PCR, 48 were positive. All of the sequenced samples were shown to present norovírus of genogroup II. Regarding the distribution of norovírus-positive sample incidence over the course of the year, higher frequency of positive cases was observed during the southern hemisphere spring, reaching 29.7% in November. CONCLUSIONS: We observed that real-time PCR was more sensitive for identifying norovírus. The incidence of norovírus was 13.2% and genogroup II predominated among the population evaluated, with the greatest infection rate in the southern hemisphere spring.
