Abstract:
Objective:To investigate and analyze a human brucellosis (hereinafter referred to as brucellosis) in Fushan District, Yantai City of Shandong Province, and to provide scientific basis for study the main risk factors and doing a good job in brucellosis prevention and control.Methods:Collect the epidemic data of one human brucellosis in Fushan District, Yantai City in 2017. The information comes from the infectious disease report information management system, the epidemiological case questionnaire of brucellosis in Shandong Province, and the medical records of medical institutions. The epidemic situation, cases and epidemiological investigation results were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Serological tests were carried out among 48 close contacts of the reported case and workers in the same village. Among the 3 positive cases, 2 cases had symptoms and positive bacterial culture results, which were diagnosed as confirmed cases. One patient was asymptomatic and negative bacterial culture, and was diagnosed as recessive infection. All of the three confirmed cases and one recessive infection involved in the epidemic had a history of close contact with infected animals, and without protective measures. The serological examination of 70 key people in the district was carried out and the results were all negative. A total of 166 sheep blood samples were collected, including 21 positive samples.Conclusions:The infectious source of this outbreak is the non-quarantine infected sheep. The main exposure factor is personal unprotected exposure to infected sheep. The key of prevention and control is to strengthen the monitoring and quarantine management of brucellosis among livestock, to improve the personal protection consciousness and ability of key population, and to improve the diagnosis ability of medical institutions in low epidemic areas.
