This report serves as a guide for investigating mucormycosis infections in healthcare. We describe lessons learned from previous outbreaks and offer methods and tools that can aid in these investigations. We also offer suggestions for conducting environmental assessments, implementing infection control measures, and initiating surveillance to ensure that interventions were effective. While not all investigations of mucormycosis infections will identify a single source, all can potentially lead to improvements in infection control.
本报告可作为医疗机构调查毛霉病感染情况的指南。我们描述了从以往疫情中吸取的经验教训,并提供有助于此类调查的方法和工具。我们还就开展环境评估、实施感染控制措施以及启动监测以确保干预措施有效提出了建议。虽然并非所有毛霉病感染调查都能确定单一传染源,但所有调查都有可能促进感染控制工作的改进。
