在一所寄宿学校发生了一场影响234名学生和23名工作人员的胃肠炎爆发，发生时间超过8周。弯曲杆菌呈从学生和教职员工中以及从一个开顶储水罐中采集的2份冷水样本中分离出了这些细菌，该储水罐主要向学校主楼供应未氯化的水。2株水分离株属于同一血清型，是3种血清型中最常见的。胎儿亚种在学生和教职员工分离株中检测到空肠。冷水储存罐的水消耗量与工作人员报告的疾病之间存在高度显著的关联。小学生的发病率与主要住宅供水的分配程度密切相关。鸟类或蝙蝠的粪便污染水是最可能的感染源。
An outbreak of gastroenteritis affecting 234 pupils and 23 staff at a boarding school occurred over 8 wk. Campylobacter spp. were isolated from pupils and staff and from 2 samples of cold water taken from an open-topped storage tank which supplied predominantly unchlorinated water to the main school building. The 2 water isolates were of the the same serotype, the commonest of the 3 serotypes of C. fetus ssp. jejuni detected in isolates from pupils and staff. There was a highly significant association between consumption of water from the cold water storage tank and reported illness in staff. Attack rates in pupils corresponded closely with the extent of distribution of this water supply to the main residential houses. Contamination of water by fecal material from birds or bats was the most likely source of infection.
