Abstract: In March 2010, a massive outbreak of gastroenteritis started in the region of Antofagasta (northern Chile). The outbreak was mainly attributed to Norovirus genogroup II although ETEC strains were also isolated with high frequency from clinical samples. We review this outbreak and determined that ETEC was an underestimated etiologic agent. ; FONDECYT 1161161 National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) 2R01AI89894 1R01AI126887 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs VA 5I0113X001469
