An outbreak of folliculitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O:7 occurred among the guests of a hotel in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, and the source of the infection was traced to the hotel whirlpool. Of 36 persons who used the whirlpool, 26 (72%) developed folliculitis within 1 to 5 days after exposure; the attack rate was significantly higher for children (90%) than for adults (50%). The rash characteristics were consistent with those of Pseudomonas folliculitis previously described (T. L. Gustafson, J. D. Band, R. H. Hutcheson, Jr., and W. Schaffner, Rev. Infect. Dis. 5:1-8, 1983). This is considered to be the first outbreak in which P. aeruginosa serotype O:7 has been incriminated. Published reports to date of outbreaks of Pseudomonas folliculitis associated with the use of whirlpools, hot tubs, swimming pools, etc., were reviewed.
加拿大纽芬兰圣约翰市一家酒店的客人中爆发了由铜绿假单胞菌O:7血清型引起的毛囊炎,感染源被追溯到酒店的漩涡浴缸。在使用该漩涡浴缸的36人中,26人(72%)在接触后的1至5天内出现了毛囊炎;儿童的发病率(90%)显著高于成人(50%)。皮疹特征与先前描述的铜绿假单胞菌毛囊炎一致(T. L. 古斯塔夫森、J. D. 班德、R. H. 哈奇森和W. 沙夫纳,《感染性疾病评论》5:1 - 8,1983年)。这被认为是首次将铜绿假单胞菌O:7血清型认定为病因的疫情爆发。对迄今为止已发表的与使用漩涡浴缸、热水浴缸、游泳池等相关的铜绿假单胞菌毛囊炎疫情报告进行了综述。
