Abstract

The bacteriological investigation of an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease in Glasgow Royal Infirmary affecting 16 patients is described. Most of the patients had been treated in high-dependency areas on two floors of the hospital supplied by the same two air-conditioned ventilation systems. The source of infection was traced to contamination of a cooling tower from which a plume of spray discharged into the intake vents of the two ventilation systems. Rubber grommets within the cooling tower probably provided a nidus of infection there. The control and management of the outbreak are discussed: a policy of frankness about the course and progress of the investigations was adopted and helped to allay anxiety on the part of both staff and media.

摘要

本文描述了格拉斯哥皇家医院爆发的军团病疫情的细菌学调查,此次疫情影响了16名患者。大多数患者在医院两层楼的高依赖区接受治疗,这两层楼由相同的两个空调通风系统供应空气。感染源被追溯到一个冷却塔受到污染,一股喷雾从该冷却塔排放到两个通风系统的进气口中。冷却塔内的橡胶索环可能在那里形成了一个感染病灶。文中讨论了疫情的控制和管理:采取了对调查过程和进展保持坦诚的政策,这有助于缓解工作人员和媒体的焦虑情绪。
