This report describes a cluster of nosocomial infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a neonatal intensive care nursery. All 5 cases of P aeruginosa infection were clustered in September 1999. Aggressive infection control measures were instituted, including installation of a user-friendly handwashing soap and environmental cleaning. On the basis of the finding of persistent dirty equipment, a new full-time position was created that was dedicated to equipment cleaning. These measures were effective in eliminating the cluster. The nursery has remained free of P aeruginosa infection for more than 2 years, attesting to the success of our program.
本报告描述了新生儿重症监护病房中由铜绿假单胞菌引起的一系列医院感染。所有5例铜绿假单胞菌感染均集中在1999年9月。采取了积极的感染控制措施，包括安装使用方便的洗手皂和进行环境清洁。基于发现设备持续脏污的情况，新设了一个专门负责设备清洁的全职岗位。这些措施有效地消除了感染群。该病房在两年多的时间里一直没有铜绿假单胞菌感染，证明了我们项目的成功。
