Clostridium welchii has been demonstrated in approximately 20% of contact plates taken from the antecubital fossa of 185 inpatients and outpatients and healthy staff. The highest incidence was in a group of 40 very ill patients. The isolation of the organism from blood cultures is not always of clinical significance. Skin preparation as at present practised is often inadequate to remove the spores when contamination is relatively heavy, for example, in bedridden patients.
在从185名住院患者、门诊患者及健康工作人员的肘前窝采集的接触平板中,约20%检测出产气荚膜梭菌。发病率最高的是一组40名重症患者。从血培养中分离出该菌并不总是具有临床意义。目前实施的皮肤准备措施在污染相对严重时(如卧床患者),往往不足以去除孢子。
