We report a case of E. anophelis pleuritis, resulting from transmission through lung transplantation, followed by a literature review of outbreak reports and strategies to minimize E. anophelis transmission in healthcare settings.
From 1990 to August 2022, 14 confirmed E. anophelis outbreak cohorts and 21 cohorts with suspected E. anophelis outbreaks were reported in literature. A total of 80 scientific reports with recommendations on diagnostics and infection control measures were included and summarized in our study.
Strategies to prevent and reduce spread of E. anophelis include water-free patient rooms, adequate hygiene and disinfection practices, and optimized diagnostic techniques for screening, identification and molecular typing.
方法:我们报告1例无节虫胸膜炎,通过肺移植传播,随后是对医疗保健机构中的暴发报告和减少按蚊肠球菌传播的策略的文献综述。
结果:从1990年到2022年8月,文献报道了14个确诊的按蚊埃博拉病毒暴发队列和21个疑似按蚊埃博拉病毒暴发队列。我们的研究共纳入并总结了80份科学报告,其中包含有关诊断和感染控制措施的建议。
结论:预防和减少按蚊感染的策略包括无水病房,适当的卫生和消毒做法,和优化的筛查诊断技术,鉴定和分子分型。
