We report an outbreak of Salmonella typhimurium in the infant room of a day care center. Time between onset dates, clustering of cases in the room, lack of a common food exposure, lack of illness among other children and staff, and lack of community-wide infection suggested person-to-person or continuing-common-source transmission. Successful preventive measures included instruction of personnel in proper handwashing and diaper-changing procedures and cohorting of infected and non-infected children. This is the second description of a non-foodborne outbreak of salmonellosis in a day care center, and the first involving S. typhimurium.
我们报告了一家日托中心婴儿室发生的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌疫情。发病日期之间的时间间隔、病例在该房间的聚集、缺乏共同的食物暴露、其他儿童和工作人员未患病以及社区范围内无感染情况，提示为人传人或持续共同来源传播。成功的预防措施包括指导工作人员正确的洗手和换尿布程序，以及对感染和未感染儿童进行分组护理。这是日托中心非食源性沙门氏菌病疫情的第二篇报道，也是首例涉及鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的报道。
