Abstract

During the last week of February 2002 (designated ‘winter sports week’ in Sweden), health authorities were informed of several cases of gastroenteritis among guests at a hotel in a holiday resort in Sweden. The area was in peak tourist season during this period, with many visitors from Sweden and abroad.
