An unimmunized schoolchild with no history of foreign travel developed severe diphtheria. Epidemiological investigations led to the discovery of a child in the same class with cutaneous diphtheria who had just returned from Bangladesh; this highlights the importance of swabbing all skin lesions acquired in endemic areas during any outbreak investigation.
一名没有国外旅行史且未接种疫苗的学童患上了严重的白喉。流行病学调查发现,同班级有一名刚从孟加拉国回来的患皮肤白喉的儿童;这凸显了在任何疫情调查期间对在流行地区出现的所有皮肤损伤进行拭子采样的重要性。
