由硫亚种癣菌引起的皮肤真菌病的医院暴发。穿孔是在养老院老年人报告。疫情影响了6名居民，尽管采取了医疗和卫生补救措施，但疫情仍持续了9个月。在一项旨在确定污染物在疾病传播中的潜在作用的调查中，对129个环境地点进行了采样。很高比例（22.3%）的样本产生了T. tonsurans，包括床、地板和洗手间设施的样本。讨论了控制慢性护理机构皮肤病暴发的方法。
A nosocomial outbreak of dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans var. sulfureum subvar. perforans is reported in a nursing home for the elderly. The outbreak affected six residents and persisted for nine months despite remedial medical and sanitary measures.In a survey designed to determine the potential role of fomites in disease transmission, 129 environmental sites were sampled. A high proportion (22.3%) of the samples yielded T. tonsurans, including samples from beds, floors, and washroom facilities. Methods for the control of dermatophyte outbreaks in chronic care institutions are discussed.
