Such transmission might not be apparent in dialysis centers because it occurs less frequently than in acute care hospitals, it results in undetected colonization rather than overt infection, or because dialysis patients are frequently hospitalized and it is difficult to determine whether transmission occurred in the inpatient or outpatient setting.

We have identified several factors that may have contributed to this resurgence: lowered herd immunity, increasing virus transmission outside the home, more clinically overt infection as a consequence of adult infection, and a shift in the surveillance emphasis of the vector control program.
