- W4360754363 abstract "Objective: To describe an outbreak of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), amongst HIV-infected patients, spread from one hospital in Milan to another. Design: Descriptive epidemiological investigation and molecular typing. Methods: All cases identified by intensive case-finding were described in terms of clinical characteristics, previous nosocomial exposure to an infectious MDR-TB patient, previous stays in other institutional settings where exposure to MDR-TB could have occurred, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern. Results: Between October 1991 and July 1995, 116 cases of MDR-TB were identified (85 at hospital A and 31 at hospital B). A single case patient, infected at hospital A, introduced the strain into hospital B. Eighty-two of the 92 strains available for fingerprinting revealed an identical pattern; 10 strains had unique RFLP patterns. Nosocomial exposure to an infectious MDR-TB patient was ascertained for 39 of the 56 patients with the ‘outbreak’ RFLP strain at hospital A (69.6%) and for 24 of the 26 patients at hospital B (92.3%). The median duration of exposure was 32 days at hospital A and 40 days at hospital B. For eight patients with the outbreak strain, exposure was determined to have probably occurred in other hospitals, in the community or in prison. Conclusions: This is the largest nosocomial outbreak of MDR-TB reported in Europe. Exposure to MDR-TB cases in other institutions caring for HIV-infected patients probably contributed to the spread of this epidemic. Strict control measures should be immediately adopted in order to prevent the spread of TB amongst HIV-infected patients in institutional settings in Europe." @default.
