Abstract

On April 13, 1998, the Field Epidemiology Training Program in the Thailand Ministry of Public Health (TMPH) was informed of six persons with sudden onset of cranial nerve palsies suggestive of botulism who were admitted to a provincial hospital in northern Thailand. To determine the cause of the cluster, TMPH initiated an investigation on April 14. This report summarizes the results of the investigation, which indicate that the outbreak was caused by foodborne botulism from home-canned bamboo shoots.

摘要

1998年4月13日，泰国公共卫生部的现场流行病学培训项目接到报告，有6名突发颅神经麻痹、疑似肉毒中毒的患者被收治入泰国北部一家省级医院。为确定这起聚集性病例的病因，泰国公共卫生部于4月14日展开调查。本报告总结了调查结果，结果表明此次疫情是由家庭自制罐装竹笋引起的食源性肉毒中毒所致。
