摘要目的:了解断毛癣菌医院内传播情况。设计:描述性研究的医院流行病的尸体。设置:一个独立的住院康复设施。参与者:患者和医护人员目前在住院康复病房的时间传播的尸体。结果:尽管早期诊断和治疗,但仍有1名患者将体部锥虫传播给4名医护人员。与指示病例有重大、中度和轻微接触的医护人员的感染率分别为30%、17%和0%(总体感染率为25%)。结论:本研究确定康复住院患者作为另一个人群中,医院传播的T tonsurans tumorporis可能发生。尽管有早期诊断和治疗,但发病率和传播率很高,强调需要采取隔离预防措施。
Abstract Objective: Investigate the nosocomial transmission of Trichophyton tonsurans tinea corporis. Design: Descriptive study of a nosocomial epidemic of tinea corporis. Setting: A free-standing inpatient rehabilitation facility. Participants: Patients and healthcare workers present on an inpatient rehabilitation ward at the time of transmission of tinea corporis. Results: T tonsurans tinea corporis was transmitted from one patient to four healthcare workers despite early diagnosis and treatment. Infection rates for healthcare workers having major, moderate, and minor contact with the index case were 30%, 17%, and 0%, respectively (overall rate, 25%). Conclusions: This study identifies rehabilitation inpatients as another population in which nosocomial transmission of T tonsurans tinea corporis can occur. The high attack rate and transmission, despite early diagnosis and treatment, emphasizes the need for isolation precautions.
