Abstract

A gastroenteritis outbreak affected 45 people (40 residents and five staff) in a nursing home for the elderly in the Celje region, north-east Slovenia, between 17 December and 31 December 2010. Rotavirus group A was laboratory confirmed in the stools of five ill individuals. The outbreak was identified when the number of affected persons was high but was successfully controlled after implementing preventive measures.
