Pseudo-outbreak of Mycobacterium fortuitum on a Human Immunodeficiency Virus Ward: transient respiratory tract colonization from a contaminated ice machine.

Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America - 1 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

Infection Control surveillance revealed an abnormally high number of sputum samples growing Mycobacterium fortuitum from a single ward that houses the human immunodeficiency virus service. We investigated the outbreak using a retrospective case-control study and molecular epidemiology. A total of 47 patients were identified with >/=1 sputum sample that grew M. fortuitum. No significant demographic or clinical...
