In June 2012, an outbreak of Salmonella group C gastroenteritis occurred on a single hospital ward among 54.2% (13/24) of volunteers undergoing an unrelated clinical trial and among 14.3% (1/7) hospital ward worker. Food-borne transmission was suspected, so a retrospective cohort study was conducted to identify the vehicle of the outbreak along with implementing outbreak control measures. None of the food items was significantly associated with the outbreak. An epidemic curve suggests a common source of the outbreak. No cases were reported after outbreak control. Food should be stored, cooked and handled using strict hygiene to prevent future outbreaks.
2012年6月，某医院一个病房发生了一起C群沙门氏菌肠胃炎暴发事件，涉及参与一项非相关临床试验的志愿者中的54.2%（13/24）以及病房工作人员中的14.3%（1/7）。怀疑是食源性传播，因此开展了一项回顾性队列研究，以确定暴发的传播媒介，并同时采取暴发控制措施。没有任何食品与此次暴发有显著关联。流行曲线提示此次暴发有一个共同来源。采取暴发控制措施后未再报告病例。应严格按照卫生要求储存、烹饪和处理食物，以预防未来发生暴发。
