An outbreak of hepatitis A has been recognised on a medical ward of a district general hospital. Eleven nurses and one patient were reported to have hepatitis over a period of 18 days in October, 1984. Specific tests for hepatitis A IgM were positive in all cases. Following extensive investigations, the outbreak was traced to a female patient who had recently returned from India and who was incontinent. Her serum, when tested subsequently, showed evidence of recent hepatitis A infection. The implications of this outbreak are discussed.
一家地区综合医院的内科病房发现了甲型肝炎的爆发。据报告，在1984年10月的18天时间里，有11名护士和1名患者感染了肝炎。所有病例的甲型肝炎IgM特异性检测均呈阳性。经过广泛调查，此次疫情追溯到一名刚从印度回来且大小便失禁的女性患者。随后对她的血清进行检测，结果显示有近期感染甲型肝炎的迹象。本文讨论了此次疫情的影响。
