一起医院腺病毒55型感染暴发疫情的现场流行病学调查和控制

目的 调查一起腺病毒55型感染暴发疫情的流行病学特征，控制感染传播。 方法 采用统一的流行病学个案调查表进行现场调查，制订病例定义，描述流行特征；采集患者咽拭子，采用反转录–聚合酶链式反应技术鉴定病原体。 按照边调查边控制的原则，落实防控措施。 结果 2016年6月21日至7月8日累计发病43例，无重症和死亡病例。 咽拭子标本检测确认为腺病毒55型感染，病例主要来自神经外科（41例，占95.35%），罹患率为24.12%（41/170）。 结论 该疫情是由腺病毒55型引起的医院呼吸道感染暴发疫情，传播途径可能为近距离飞沫传播和接触传播。 建议医疗单位将腺病毒纳入呼吸道疾病常规诊断项目，提高对呼吸道传染病的早期诊断能力。
