Overview

Common causes of viral gastroenteritis include, Rotaviruses, Noroviruses, enteric Adenoviruses (group F) and Astroviruses. Among them, Norovirus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis in adults and children worldwide.

Causes

Life threatening causes

There are no life threatening causes associated with viral gastroenteritis.

Common causes

Common causes of viral gastroenteritis include:[1][2][3][4][5]

  • Rotaviruses
  • Noroviruses
  • Enteric Adenoviruses (group F)
  • Astroviruses

Less common causes

Less common causes for viral gastroenteritis include:[6]

  • Kobuviruses (including aichivirus)
  • Enteroviruses
  • Orthoreoviruses
  • Adenoviruses (other than group F)
  • Toroviruses
  • Coronaviruses (including SARS)
  • Parvoviruses (including bocavirus)

Causes in immunocompromised hosts

In addition to common causes of viral gastroenteritis, immunosuppressed patients are prone to following viral micro organism.[7][8]

  • HIV

  • Herpes simplex virus
  • Picobirnaviruses
  • Adenoviruses types 42–47 (often systemic)
