沙门氏菌血清群Saphra（S。通过实验室监测、病例对照和追溯研究以及哈密瓜制作方法调查，对感染进行了研究。24例S. saphra感染的发病时间为1997年2月23日至5月15日; 75%为6岁以下儿童; 23%住院。病例组患者比对照组更可能食用哈密瓜（88%对45%;匹配优势比[莫尔]，15. 5; 95%置信区间[CI]，1.7-139）和预切哈密瓜（59% vs. 19%;莫尔，14.5; 95% CI，1.6-128）。追溯研究确定墨西哥的1个种植区是95%食用哈密瓜的患者的哈密瓜来源。只有17%的病例患者在切哈密瓜前洗过。这次疫情是美国与进口受污染农产品有关的胃肠道疾病的另一个例子。消费者和零售商在切哈密瓜之前应该先洗干净;国际社会应该努力确保食品安全。
An outbreak of Salmonella serogroup Saphra (S. saphra) infections was studied by laboratory-based surveillance, case-control and trace-back studies, and a survey of cantaloupe preparation practices. Twenty-four patients with S. saphra infections had illness onsets between 23 February and 15 May 1997; 75% were </=6 years old; 23% were hospitalized. Case patients were more likely than controls to have consumed cantaloupe (88% vs. 45%; matched odds ratio [MOR], 15. 5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7-139) and precut cantaloupe (59% vs. 19%; MOR, 14.5; 95% CI, 1.6-128). The trace-back study identified 1 growing region in Mexico as the source of cantaloupes for 95% of the patients who ate cantaloupes. Only 17% of case patients washed cantaloupes before cutting them. This outbreak is another example of gastrointestinal disease in the United States associated with imported contaminated produce. Consumers and retailers should wash cantaloupes before cutting them; there should be international efforts to ensure food safety.
