We investigated an outbreak of Coxsackie B4 arthritis in a neonatal unit involving 20 neonates and 12 staff members, over an eight-month period. Laboratory investigations, serology tests, indicate that the outbreak was caused by Coxsackie B4 virus. Contamination of one of the overhead water reservoirs, supplying the nursery, was responsible. After the water tanks were cleaned out, no new cases were reported over five years.
我们调查了一家新生儿病房爆发的柯萨奇B4型关节炎疫情,在八个月的时间里涉及20名新生儿和12名工作人员。实验室调查、血清学检测表明,此次疫情是由柯萨奇B4病毒引起的。供应新生儿病房的一个高位水箱受到污染是罪魁祸首。水箱清理后,五年内未再报告新病例。
