A call to the emergency room at a local hospital (Hospital A) revealed that 23 university students had been seen for acute gastroenteritis in the last 24 hours. In contrast, only three patients had been seen at the emergency room for similar symptoms from March 5-9, none of whom were associated with the university. At 10:30 A.M., the physician from the University Student Health Center returned the call from TDH and reported that 20 students with vomiting and diarrhea had been seen the previous day. Question: Do you think these cases of gastroenteritis represent an outbreak at the university? Why or why not? From this case scenario, what kinds of questions would you ask the students and why? What would you advise the student about attending classes that day? What agencies or departments would you interview? What kind of teaching/education plan would you develop to prevent this from happening again using the epidemiological triangle as a teaching point?
