A nosocomial outbreak of dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans var. sulfureum subvar. perforans is reported in a nursing home for the elderly. The outbreak affected six residents and persisted for nine months despite remedial medical and sanitary measures. In a survey designed to determine the potential role of fomites in disease transmission, 129 environmental sites were sampled. A high proportion (22.3%) of the samples yielded T. tonsurans, including samples from beds, floors, and washroom facilities. Methods for the control of dermatophyte outbreaks in chronic care institutions are discussed.
据报道，一家养老院发生了由断发毛癣菌硫磺变种穿孔亚变种引起的医院内皮肤癣菌病暴发。此次暴发感染了6名居民，尽管采取了补救性医疗和卫生措施，但仍持续了9个月。在一项旨在确定污染物在疾病传播中潜在作用的调查中，对129个环境场所进行了采样。很大比例（22.3%）的样本检测出断发毛癣菌，包括来自病床、地板和卫生间设施的样本。文中还讨论了慢性护理机构中控制皮肤癣菌病暴发的方法。
