Abstract@#On 18 May 2021, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of X District in P City, Z Province received a co-investigation of a suspected case of intentional HIV transmission from the public security branch, and conducted epidemiological investigations on Zhao and Wang (both males). Wang was confirmed HIV-positive in 2019. Zhao had unprotected sexual encounters several times with Wang in March 2021 without being informed of Wang's HIV infection. Zhao developed fever, sore throat and other symptoms of acute infection phase on 28 March, and were confirmed HIV positive by the CDC of P City on 11 May. Zhao did not have sex with anyone else before or after having sex with Wang. In addition, Zhao had no history of surgery, blood transfusions, drug use or any other history of HIV exposure. Laboratory tests conducted by the CDC of Z Province showed that the HIV nucleic acid sequences between the samples of Zhao and Wang had a high degree of homology. Combined with the epidemiological investigation, laboratory testing and the evidence from the public security branch, it was concluded that Wang intentionally transmitted HIV to Zhao through unprotected anal sex without disclosing his HIV infection status.

Abstract@#In November 2023, the Jinhua Center for Disease Control and Prevention received a report from a company indicating 3 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. An on-site epidemiological investigation was immediately conducted. A total of 3 cases were reported, with an attack rate of 9.68%. The first case had cough and expectoration for more than a year, and diagnosed with rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis on November 16, 2023, and the other 2 cases were his colleagues who were diagnosed with rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis and etiology negative pulmonary tuberculosis on November 20 and 21, respectively. Based on the on-site investigation and laboratory test results, it was a cluster of rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. The likely cause of the spread might be the lack of timely medical attention for the first case, which led to the infection of other colleagues through contact transmission. Eight close contacts screened positive for purified protein derivative (PDD) or recombinantMycobacterium tuberculosisfusion protein skin test (EC-ST), given the injection of mycobaeterium vaccae vaccine, and no new cases of tuberculosis detected in the 3-month follow-up. The outbreak highlighted the necessity for the company to enhance health education concerning the prevention and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, implement regular health monitoring and enhance the physical examination for employee in order to increase sensitivity to pulmonary tuberculosis.

To clarify the causal factors of a case with severe Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia in Jiujiang District, Jiangxi Province and provide a scientific basis for effective prevention and control. Basic information and epidemiological data of the case were collected by epidemiological survey, and the samples from the close contacts and environment were collected for pathogen detection. A 37-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital due to "fever with cough for five days and worsening dyspnea". The results of targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) of pathogenic microorganisms in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the case indicated that the patient was infected with Chlamydia psittaci. Our epidemiological investigation revealed a clear history of chicken and duck exposure. Four throat swab samples of close contacts and one spleen, liver and lung sample of sick chicken and duck were collected for testing. One of the duck tissue samples tested positive, while the other samples were negative. The severe pneumonia was likely caused by exposure to the external environment contaminated by Chlamydia psittaci. Poultry farming should be regulated to prevent the transmission infection from poultry to humans.Additionally, awareness among medical staff should be increased to prevent severe outcomes.

Objective To describe the epidemiological characteristics, investigation and treatment process of the first monkeypox cluster outbreak in Wuhan, and to provide reference for the prevention and control of monkeypox cluster outbreak in the future. Methods Field epidemiological investigation was conducted on the cases, and throat swabs, anal swabs, shingles fluid, whole blood, and serum samples were collected from the cases. Subsequently, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was employed for the detection of monkeypox virus nucleic acid and subsequent gene sequencing. Results Two cases had a high-risk exposure behavior in a hotel in Wuhan on June 2, 2023. The first case exhibited the emergence of beige papules on June 5 and sought medical treatment at a tertiary hospital in Wuhan on June 11. The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted tests on herpes fluid samples, which yielded positive results for the presence of monkeypox virus nucleic acid. Genetic sequencing analysis revealed that the infecting strain of the monkeypox virus in this case belonged to the West African clade B.1. Conclusion Based on epidemiological investigation and laboratory results, this monkeypox cluster outbreak may be caused by latent men with men sexual transmission. Monkeypox has the risk of both overseas importation and local transmission in our country. It is very necessary to detect, report and deal with monkeypox outbreak early.

@#In September 2020, three pulmonary tuberculosis cases were identified during school physical examinations at a senior high school in a district (School B) of Hangzhou City. Immediate epidemiological surveys were performed by local district and Hangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and a pulmonary tuberculosis outbreak involving 9 cases in 6 schools were identified. All cases were once Grade 9 students in Class of 2019 at a junior high school (School A), and the source of infection might be a laboratory-confirmed cases (index case) in this class reported in April, 2019. Following exposure to index case, other cases developed disease onset or were screened after entering senior high schools. In November, 2020, tuberculin skin test and chest X-ray scan were performed to screen pulmonary tuberculosis among 43 students and teachers in a class of Grade 9 in Class of 2019 at School A, and 17 students strongly positive for tuberculin skin test were given prophylactic therapy. No pulmonary tuberculosis case were identified until June 2021. It is suggested that early epidemiological surveys facilitates the identification of the epidemiological correlation between cases. Active search for individuals with common exposure history and prophylactic therapy are required if a possible outbreak is found, which is helpful to avoid the spread of the outbreak.

ObjectiveTo investigate a suspected outbreak of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia (CRKP) in a secondary grade-A hospital, analyze the infection source and transmission route, and put forward corresponding preventive and control measures. MethodsEpidemiological investigation was conducted on 5 patients with CRKP infection in department of neurosurgery during December 23‒30, 2021. Specimens were collected with the environmental microbiology monitoring procedure. CRKP isolated from the environmental samples were analyzed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) method. Comprehensive measures were taken to control the CRKP infection. ResultsThe 5 infected patients were located in 3 rooms, and all were diagnosed as HAI. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing results from the specimens of 3 CRKP infected patients were the same. Through environmental microbiology monitoring, CRKP strains were detected from the faucet handle and sink specimens in 3 rooms. The results of MLST analysis showed that the faucet handle and sink specimens in room 2 and 3 were ST11 type. The environmental specimen in room 1 was ST23 type. The suspected outbreak was effectively controlled after comprehensive interventions. ConclusionHAI suspected outbreak might be caused by the environmental contamination from the pathogens of CRKP-infected patients as well as the contaminated hands of medical staff and accompanying family members. Strengthening the publicity, education and management of medical staff and accompanying staff, early identification of infection outbreaks, and timely comprehensive control measures are the keys to controlling multidrug-resistant nosocomial infection outbreaks.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological investigation results and emergency response to a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic in Shanghai. Methods Descriptive epidemiological method was used to describe the epidemiological characteristics, such as population, time and spatial distribution of a COVID-19 epidemic on January 20, 2021 in Huangpu District of Shanghai. The advantages and disadvantages of the emergency response to this epidemic were analyzed. Results All of the 22 cases were found by active screening, which included high-risk population screening (18.2%, 4/22), medium-risk area screening (9.1%, 2/22), and close contact population screening (72.7%,16/22). The first 2 cases were detected by routine nucleic acid screening for staff in two hospitals. The confirmed cases appeared mostly during the first 3 days of the epidemic (45.5%,10/22), and mainly distributed in the neighborhood C of Huangpu district. There were 6 key locations or regions of Huangpu District involved in this epidemic, and different control measures were adopted in these different regions according to the risk assessments. After precise epidemic prevention and control, it took only 14 days from the first to the last confirmed case of this epidemic (from January 21, 2021 to February 4, 2021), and no new related cases appeared afterwards. Conclusion Active screening and early finding of COVID-19 cases play a key role in timely control of the epidemic, with the smallest cost, the highest efficiency and the most limited urban impact.

Objective To Investigate the cause of a food poisoning incident in a city in Dehong Prefecture, determine the scope of the incident, and to formulate effective prevention and control measures. Methods Field epidemiology and case-control study methods were used to formulate case definition; carry out case search; find suspicious food combined with clinical manifestations, dining history and other information; and collect samples from the suspicious food, cases and environment for laboratory testing. Results A total of 160 cases were found and the incidence rate was 26.02% (160/615). The main clinical manifestations were diarrhea, leukocytosis, vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain. The average incubation period was 10.89±5.09 h, with 2 h as the shortest and 28 h as the longest. The epidemiological curve suggested the point source exposure mode. The results of case-control study showed that eating roast pork with green shoots was an independent risk factor (OR=13.09, 95%CI: 3.26‒52.54).16 samples were tested by the local CDC laboratory. Proteus mirabilis was detected in two the anal swabs of two patients He and Chen. Both proteus pani and proteus mirabilis were detected in anal swab of patient Zhou and Proteus pani was detected in roast meat. There was no detection of pathogenic bacteria in other samples. Conclusion Based on the field epidemiological investigation and laboratory test results, we conclude that the food poisoning incident is caused by suspected proteus bacteria. We suggest that the market supervision department should strengthen the supervision of local food hygiene; clarify the sampling rights, responsibilities and technical procedures when medical institutions treat patients with foodborne diseases; ensure finding the causes in time; and take effective prevention and control measures to avoid similar food poisoning events.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of an outbreak of respiratory tract infection caused by human rhinovirus (HRV) in a school in Nanxun District of Huzhou City, and provide scientific evidence for prevention and control of outbreaks of upper respiratory tract infection caused by HRV in the future. Methods The investigation was performed according to the Guidelines for Response to Outbreaks of Influenza-like Illness (2018 version). It mainly referred to the records of nonattendance due to illness, morning and afternoon examination, and hospital treatment records, to search for cases. Then CDC staffs carried out epidemiological investigation on cases, interviewed the head teacher, and inspected the site. Throat swabs were collected for detection of SARS-CoV-2 and subsequently 14 common viruses that may cause upper respiratory tract infection. Results A total of 68 cases with HRV infection were identified. The first case and last case occurred on May 20 and 30, respectively. After a 3-day longest incubation period, there was no emerging case, suggesting the end of the outbreak. The incidence was 25.00% (11/44) in Class 101, 30.23% (13/43) in Class 109, 25.58% (11/43) in Class 110, 35.26% (16/45) in Class 211, and 39.96% (17/46) in Class 307. There was no significant difference in the incidence among classes ( χ 2=1.67, P >0.05). The patients aged from 7 to 9 years. The incidence was 27.19% (31 / 114) in male and 34.58% (37/107) in female, with no significant difference ( χ 2=1.41, P >0.05). The symptoms were mild, with no hospitalization, severe illness or death. The patients had mainly cough (100.00%), sore throat (61.76%), and runny nose (47.06%), whereas had little muscle soreness (4.41%). Of the patients, 69.12% visited hospitals, 23.53% took medicine by themselves, while 7.35% did not seek any medical treatment or medicine. Throat swabs were collected from 22 cases, testing negative for SARS-CoV-2. Then 14 common respiratory viruses were examined, of which HRV was positive in 16 cases. Conclusion Children with HRV infection have milder symptoms compared to influenza infection, which is difficult to be noticed by school teachers and parents. Students should maintain personal hygiene and develop health habits. Moreover, schools should strength relevant health education, implement morning and afternoon health inspection, and prevent students with illness to routinely go to schools.

Objective To determine the epidemiological characteristics and causes of an influenza outbreak in a primary school in Hebei District, Tianjin, and provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of influenza outbreaks. Methods According to the Guidelines for the Management of Influenza Like Outbreaks (2012 Edition) , and the throat swabs of patients with influenza were collected for influenza virus detection. Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the data in the outbreak. Results A total of 94 cases were identified in this influenza outbreak, with an overall incidence rate of 18.40%. A total of 12 classes were involved. The cases were distributed in Grade 1 (classes 1-9) and Grade 3 (classes 7, 8 and 10). The highest morbidity rate was 47.50% (19/40) in Class 2 Grade 1, followed by 30.95% (13/42) in Class 1 Grade 1, and the lowest was 2.86% (1/35) in Class 8 Grade 3 and Class 10 Grade 3. The throat swab samples were collected in 11 students, of which 6 tested positive for influenza B virus. Conclusion Students with influenza were younger, had not been vaccinated against influenza, and attended classes with illness, which led to the further spread of the epidemic. The outbreak has been finally controlled through strengthening morning and afternoon inspection, tracking non-attendant students due to illness, strictly isolating the source of infection, opening windows for ventilation, and conducting preventive disinfection.
