During 1986-87 this continuing survey showed 15 specific infections in the staff of 235 laboratories, representing 28,524 person years of exposure. The community was the probable source of four of the five cases of tuberculosis and one of the five cases of salmonellosis. Occupational exposure was the probable cause of four infections by Shigella flexneri, three by Salmonella typhimurium, and one by S typhi, all affecting medical laboratory scientific officers (MLSOs) in microbiology. Occupational exposure was also the probable cause of one case of tuberculosis in a mortuary technician and one of probable non-A, non-B hepatitis in a medical laboratory scientific officer haematology worker. The overall incidence of reported infections was 52.6/100,000 person years (35/100,000 for infections of probable occupational origin). The highest rates of laboratory acquired infections related to MLSO microbiology workers and mortuary technicians. No additional infections were seen as a result of extending the survey to forensic laboratories.
在1986 - 1987年期间，这项持续的调查显示，在235个实验室的工作人员中发生了15起特定感染，暴露人年数达28524人年。社区可能是五例结核病病例中的四例以及五例沙门氏菌病病例中的一例的感染源。职业暴露可能是四例福氏志贺菌感染、三例鼠伤寒沙门氏菌感染和一例伤寒沙门氏菌感染的病因，所有这些感染均发生在微生物学医学实验室科学官员（MLSO）身上。职业暴露也可能是一名太平间技术员感染结核病的病因，以及一名血液学医学实验室科学官员感染可能的非甲非乙型肝炎的病因之一。报告感染的总体发病率为52.6/10万每人年（可能源于职业的感染为35/10万每人年）。与MLSO微生物学工作人员和太平间技术员相关的实验室获得性感染率最高。将调查扩展至法医实验室后未发现新增感染病例。
