Nosocomial outbreaks related to medication contamination are reported world-wide. A sudden increase in cases of spp. bacteremia led to an outbreak investigation in our setting. Line listing and environmental sampling led to identification of contaminated furosemide ampoules as the source. Molecular identification helped in species identification and in this outbreak more than one species was identified. Prompt withdrawal of the contaminated batch of ampoules curtailed the outbreak.
与药物污染相关的医院感染暴发在全球范围内均有报道。某菌血症病例的突然增加促使我们对本院展开暴发调查。通过病例一览表和环境采样,我们确定了受污染的速尿安瓿瓶为传染源。分子鉴定有助于菌种识别,在此次暴发中我们识别出了不止一种菌种。迅速撤回受污染批次的安瓿瓶遏制了此次暴发。
