目的:报告疗养院爆发的严重呼吸道疾病,其中 4 例分离出 3 型副流感。设计:从有症状的居民样本中进行病毒呼吸道培养,并进行回顾性图表审查。地点:专业护理机构中每层 50 个床位的护理病房。参与者:护理病房的所有居民。测量:呼吸道病毒培养和临床图表审查。结果:25 例1999年9月2日至9月25日期间,49名居民出现新的呼吸道症状。其中10例(40%)的鼓室温度为100°F或更高。 18 例 (72%) 进行了胸部 X 光检查,发现 11 例 (44%) 有新的浸润。十六人 (64%) 接受了抗生素治疗。出现症状后 1 至 9 天内,3 例住院,4 例死亡(16%)。 10 种病毒培养物中有 4 种产生副流感 3 型。结论:副流感 3 型可能导致暴发并发肺炎和致命结果。临床医生应考虑采取统一的分泌预防措施,以遏制疗养院中的所有病毒 URI。
OBJECTIVE: To report a serious outbreak of respiratory illness in a nursing home, with isolation of parainfluenza type 3 in four cases.DESIGN: Viral respiratory cultures from a sample of symptomatic residents, and retrospective chart review.SETTING: A 50‐bed nursing unit/floor in a skilled nursing facility.PARTICIPANTS: All residents of the nursing unit.MEASUREMENTS: Respiratory viral cultures and clinical chart review.RESULTS: Twenty‐five of 49 residents developed new respiratory symptoms between September 2 and September 25, 1999. Ten cases (40%) had a tympanic temperature of 100°F or greater. Eighteen (72%) had a chest X‐ray with 11 (44%) new infiltrates. Sixteen (64%) were treated with antibiotics. Three cases were hospitalized and four died (16%) within 1 to 9 days after onset of symptoms. Four of 10 viral cultures yielded parainfluenza type 3.CONCLUSIONS: Parainfluenza type 3 may cause outbreaks complicated by pneumonia and fatal outcome. Clinicians should consider uniform secretion precautions to contain all viral URIs in nursing homes.
