We report an outbreak of Salmonella typhimurium in the infant room of a day care center. Time between onset dates, clustering of cases in the room, lack of a common food exposure, lack of illness among other children and staff, and lack of community-wide infection suggested person-to-person or continuing-common-source transmission. Successful preventive measures included instruction of personnel in proper handwashing and diaper-changing procedures and cohorting of infected and non-infected children. This is the second description of a non-foodborne outbreak of salmonellosis in a day care center, and the first involving S. typhimurium. |
