A measles outbreak at university medical settings involving health care providers
In 1985, a measles outbreak involved 14 students and non-student contacts in Michigan. Eight transmissions occurred at university medical facilities; five of these were likely airborne transmissions. Medical students and a medical resident were involved in the outbreak's propagation. Health care providers need to be immune to measles. Measles should be suspected in young adults with compatible illnesses; persons suspected to have measles should b…
Prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus, phage type 29/52/80, in Michigan
Staphylococcus aureus, phage type 29/52/80, caused an outbreak of infections in Michigan over a period of two years and continues to be the most prevalent type seen. Of 3,752 isolates typed in 1980-81, 25 per cent were this phage type, which was strongly associated with methicillin resistance. Using this phage type as an indicator, we could demonstrate the spread of methicillin resistant staphylococci from Detroit metropolitan hospitals to suburb…
