An outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa folliculitis in 6 children occurred within 5 days after playing in a tiny vinyl pool. The follicular macular or pustular eruptions were mainly distributed on the trunk. No associated symptoms were seen. The causative Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain isolated from pustules of one case belonged to serogroup E, corresponding to O-11 (Difco). The rash subsided promptly and spontaneously. Furthermore, we have encountered another case of Psedomonas folliculitis caused by P. aeruginosa serogroup G, corresponding to O-6 (Difco). The maculopustular rash was distributed on the trunk and disappeared spontaneously as the cases mentioned above. The folliculitis of this baby were probably associated with the repeated use of family bath without changing water. In U.S. and Europe Pseudomonas folliculitis have been reported very frequently, but our cases were reported for the first time in Japan.
6名儿童在一个小塑料泳池玩耍后5天内发生了铜绿假单胞菌毛囊炎暴发。毛囊性斑疹或脓疱疹主要分布在躯干。未见相关症状。从1例脓疱中分离出的致病性铜绿假单胞菌菌株属于E血清群，对应O-11（Difco）。皮疹迅速且自发消退。此外，我们还遇到了另一例由G血清群铜绿假单胞菌引起的假单胞菌毛囊炎，对应O-6（Difco）。斑丘疹分布在躯干，与上述病例一样自发消失。这名婴儿的毛囊炎可能与家庭浴水反复使用未换水有关。在美国和欧洲，假单胞菌毛囊炎报道非常频繁，但我们的病例在日本属首次报道。
