Abstract

During December 2002-January 2003, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) investigated a cluster of Yersinia enterocolitica infections reported during a 10-week period among nine Chicago infants aged < or =1 year. This report summarizes the investigation of these cases and underscores the continuing risks for enteric infection among infants exposed to chitterlings (i.e., pork intestines), and the need for health-care providers to be aware of Y. enterocolitica as a cause of gastroenteritis, particularly in black children during traditional winter holiday celebrations.

摘要

2002年12月至2003年1月期间，芝加哥公共卫生部（CDPH）对10周内报告的9名年龄小于或等于1岁的芝加哥婴儿感染小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌的聚集性病例展开了调查。本报告总结了对这些病例的调查情况，并强调了接触猪小肠（即猪肠）的婴儿面临肠道感染的持续风险，以及医疗保健人员需要意识到小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌可引发肠胃炎，尤其是在传统寒假庆祝活动期间的黑人儿童中。
