| Popis: | Purposes To evaluate different bundle of infection control interventions against an infection caused by tick borne pathogens. Methods In May, 2014, our hospital received and cured 4 patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) caused by a novel bunyavirus. A bundle prevention intervention was implemented. These strategies included (1) report epidemic situation timely with a high degree of vigilance, (2) confirm goal and full-support, (3) strengthen training, avoid missed diagnosis, (4) disinfection and isolation, comprehensive protection (described Table 1 in detail), (5) supervise of project implementation all-the-way. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this measure by comparing to the conventional measures in 2006, where a human granulocytic anaplasmosis, having a same transmission mode with novel bunyavirus related SFTS, was outbreak. Results Before new measures conducted, in 2006, the secondary attack rate of human granulocytic anaplasmosis was 23.08%, consisting of 16.67% (4/24) and 33.33% (5/15) for health care workers and family members, respectively (Figure 2). While after implementation of a prevention care bundle, no secondary attack SFTS patients was observed in the hospital with a significant lower hospital acquired secondary attack rate than human granulocytic anaplasmosis infection in 2006 (c Z 45.28, P < 0.001). Conclusions Our new bundle measures against infections caused by tick borne pathogens is rather effectiveness. |
