An outbreak of illness due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae occurred among employees of a large hospital. The spectrum of disease ranged from severe upper respiratory infection to multilobed pneumonia. No unusual increase in the incidence of respiratory illness due to this organism was observed in the surrounding community during the period under investigation. It was not possible to identify any single area of the hospital frequented by enough of the involved personnel to explain the spread of the infection among the hospital's employees. This is the first outbreak of M pneumoniae disease to be reported among hospital personnel.
一家大型医院的员工中发生了一起由肺炎支原体引起的疾病暴发。疾病范围从严重的上呼吸道感染到多叶肺炎。在调查期间，周边社区未观察到由该病原体引起的呼吸道疾病发病率有异常增加。无法确定医院中任何一个有足够多涉事人员经常光顾的单一区域，以解释感染在医院员工中的传播情况。这是首次报道在医院工作人员中发生的肺炎支原体疾病暴发。
