In May 2000, CDC was asked to assemble a team to investigate reports of a widespread outbreak of Q fever (Coxiella burnetii infection) in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Brucellosis was also suspected in the outbreak. In a short period of time, we were able to gather supplies, establish collaboration, and rapidly deploy a field laboratory for the serodiagnostic testing of animal and human specimens. Strategy, problems, and insights on organization, transport, and deployment will be discussed.
2000年5月,美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)受命组建一个团队,对波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那广泛爆发Q热(伯氏考克斯氏体感染)的报告展开调查。此次疫情中还怀疑有布鲁氏菌病。在短时间内,我们得以筹集物资、建立合作关系,并迅速部署了一个现场实验室,用于对动物和人类标本进行血清学诊断检测。本文将讨论有关组织、运输和部署方面的策略、问题及见解。
