Abstract：
A cluster of 18 scarlet fever cases and large illness absenteeism (32%, 58/184) in a school prompted concern and further investigation. We conducted telephone interviews with parents to ascertain cases and better comprehend parents\' views. We identified 19 cases, of which 13 reported scarlet fever diagnosis by a physician and only seven fulfilled the probable case definition. We concluded that the outbreak was far smaller than suspected and found that communication and reporting could be improved. Accurate information and communication is essential in an outbreak; the school\'s concern could have been alleviated sooner and response measures better targeted.
摘要：
一组18例猩红热病例和大型疾病缺勤(32%，58/184）在一所学校引起了关注和进一步调查。我们对父母进行了电话采访，以确定案例并更好地理解父母的观点。我们确定了19例,其中13例报告了由医生诊断的猩红热，只有7例符合可能病例的定义。我们得出的结论是，疫情远小于怀疑，发现沟通和报告可以改善。在疫情爆发中，准确的信息和沟通至关重要；学校的担忧本可以更快地得到缓解，应对措施也更有针对性。
