An outbreak of hepatitis A occurred in a pediatric hospital in Texas. The index case had been admitted during the incubation period for cardiac surgery and developed symptoms while hospitalized. A child in a nearby bed acquired hepatitis A, as did three staff members. The second child was still hospitalized when she developed symptoms and infected 12 nurses, 3 physicians, 2 medical students, 2 patients and 1 respiratory therapist. Children with diarrhea can effectively disseminate this virus even when normal hospital routines and rules of hygiene are observed.
德克萨斯州一家儿科医院爆发了甲型肝炎疫情。首例病例在心脏手术潜伏期入院，住院期间出现症状。附近病床的一名儿童感染了甲型肝炎，三名工作人员也被感染。第二名儿童出现症状时仍在住院，感染了12名护士、3名医生、2名医学生、2名患者和1名呼吸治疗师。即使遵守正常的医院常规和卫生规则，腹泻患儿也能有效传播这种病毒。
