We describe an outbreak of echovirus type 18 infection involving 20 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients and the results of virological investigations are presented. RT-PCR demonstrated a widespread transmission of the virus in NICU patients during the outbreak. Separation care and additional infection control measures seemed to be effective in preventing further spread of the virus.
我们描述了一起涉及20名新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)患者的18型肠道病毒感染暴发事件,并展示了病毒学调查结果。逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)显示,在暴发期间该病毒在NICU患者中广泛传播。隔离护理和额外的感染控制措施似乎对防止病毒进一步传播有效。
