In February 2004, the Nebraska Health and Human Services System (NHHSS) notified CDC about an outbreak of histoplasmosis among workers at a local agricultural processing plant (plant A). Three workers at the plant had acute, febrile, respiratory illness; two had serologic evidence of histoplasmosis. NHHSS and CDC conducted an investigation to determine the source of transmission and the extent of the outbreak. This report summarizes the findings of that investigation, which confirmed occupationally acquired histoplasmosis. Additional measures might be necessary to minimize risk for histoplasmosis among persons who work in the agricultural industry in areas where it is endemic.
2004年2月，内布拉斯加州卫生与公众服务系统（NHHSS）向疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）通报了当地一家农业加工厂（A厂）工人中爆发组织胞浆菌病的情况。该厂三名工人出现急性发热性呼吸道疾病；两名工人有组织胞浆菌病的血清学证据。NHHSS和CDC展开调查以确定传播源头和疫情范围。本报告总结了该调查结果，证实了职业性获得性组织胞浆菌病。在组织胞浆菌病流行地区的农业行业工作人员中，可能需要采取额外措施以将感染组织胞浆菌病的风险降至最低。
