Six children admitted in a 18 bedded hematology-oncology unit, developed acute diarrhea in a four week period between March and April 2001. Salmonella senftenberg was the additional pathogen in the stool sample of one patient who developed cola colored urine and pneumonia in the course of his illness. All the Aeromonas strains had a similar biotype and antibiogram. The diarrhea subsided spontaneously in two children whilst three responded to antimicrobial therapy. One patient sought discharge and did not return for a follow up. Aeromonas sobria with a similar profile as the isolates from the patients could be isolated from only one of several environmental sites. The outbreak could be contained by appropriate interventional measures.
在一个有18张床位的血液肿瘤病房收治的6名儿童，于2001年3月至4月的四周内出现了急性腹泻。在一名患病期间出现可乐色尿液和肺炎的患者的粪便样本中，肠炎沙门氏菌是另外一种病原体。所有气单胞菌菌株都具有相似的生物型和抗菌谱。两名儿童的腹泻自行消退，而三名儿童对抗菌治疗有反应。一名患者要求出院且未回来进行随访。从几个环境场所中，只有一个场所分离出了与患者分离株具有相似特征的嗜水气单胞菌。通过适当的干预措施，疫情得到了控制。
