Calculations say one million and 18,000 people have been hit with the vomiting sickness this winter, the Daily Telegraph reported Friday.

Introduction Of Infections
Birth defects are abnormalities, which occur before the birth of the baby and can be caused due to genetic, environmental and other unknown reasons.

Laboratory tests by the Health Protection Agency confirmed 3,538 cases of norovirus this season.

The latest figures are 83 percent higher than the number of cases reported at this point last year when there were 1,934 cases.

As most samples sent for analysis come from care homes and hospitals, officials say a ratio of one laboratory case probably means there are a further 288 cases among people who do not seek medical treatment and are not tested.
