Characteristics of within-household varicella transmission events associated with school outbreaks in Shanghai, China, 2009-2018.

abstract：:After a Christmas party in a restaurant, 48 (68%) of the 82 guests contracted calicivirus gastroenteritis. The epidemiological investigation showed that salad was strongly associated with the disease episode (RR = 2.43, P = 0.0005). Similar symptoms occurred among other customers who had had a meal at the same restaur...
