Five patients in a geropsychiatric unit of a psychiatric hospital became abruptly ill with pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 6A. Four other residents were colonized with the same serotype, which has previously not been reported in association with pneumonia outbreaks. Furthermore, serotype 6A is not included in all vaccine types, which may be important for the choice of vaccine in some settings. All isolates showed identical pulsed-field gel electrophoresis restriction patterns.
一家精神病医院老年精神科病房的五名患者突然患上由6A血清型肺炎链球菌引起的肺炎。另外四名住院患者感染了相同血清型，此前未有该血清型与肺炎暴发相关的报道。此外，并非所有疫苗类型都包含6A血清型，这在某些情况下对于疫苗选择可能很重要。所有分离株显示出相同的脉冲场凝胶电泳限制性图谱。
