Infectious diseases such as norovirus can induce emesis (vomiting), which can be of a projectile nature. Although studies have been carried out on transmission, prevalence and decontamination of such micro-organisms within various environments, little is known about the extent to which the surrounding environment is contaminated when an individual vomits.

The intrinsic emetogenicity of an individual chemotherapy agent appears to be the most important predictive factor for the development of CINV, though CINV is also influenced by patient characteristics. Such characteristics include gender, age, and history of alcohol consumption (3). In addition, experiencing nausea and vomiting with prior chemotherapy is also a risk factor. Consistently, women...
متن کاملAerosolization of a Human Norovirus Surrogate, Bacteriophage MS2, during Simulated Vomiting
Human noroviruses (NoV) are the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Epidemiological studies of outbreaks have suggested that vomiting facilitates transmission of human NoV, but there have been no laboratory-based studies characterizing the degree of NoV release during a vomiting event. The purpose of this work was to demonstrate that virus aerosolization occurs in a simulated vomi...
