However, the final diagnosis was listed as vomiting and diarrhea, but the child was not added to the AGE log nor was the child isolated. It was unclear if this passenger met the AGE reportable case definition and needed isolation since no evaluation was documented.
Recommendation: Ensure a reportable case of AGE is a case reported to the master of the vessel, the medical staff, or other designated staff by a passenger or a crew member and meets the case definition based on the following symptoms: (1) Diarrhea (three or more episodes of loose stools in a 24 hour period or what is above normal for the individual. See section 4.1.2.1.3, illness symptoms); or (2) vomiting and one additional symptom including one or more episodes of loose stools in a 24-hour period, or abdominal cramps, or headache, or muscle aches, or fever (temperature of greater than or equal to 38°C [100.4°F]).
Item No.: 02
Site: Medical-Acute Gastrointestinal (AGE) Case Identification
Violation: The medical logs lacked evaluation notes for numerous known incidents of persons vomiting or experiencing diarrhea in the youth programs.

Ensure a reportable case of AGE is a case reported to the master of the vessel, the medical staff, or other designated staff by a passenger or a crew member and meets the case definition based on the following symptoms: (1) Diarrhea (three or more episodes of loose stools in a 24 hour period or what is above normal for the individual. See section 4.1.2.1.3, illness symptoms); or (2) vomiting and one additional symptom including one or more episodes of loose stools in a 24-hour period, or abdominal cramps, or headache, or muscle aches, or fever (temperature of greater than or equal to 38°C [100.4°F]).
