Outbreak of Shigella sonnei infection in Terme City, Turkey, September 2012

Abstract

Objective: Waterborne outbreaks occur in Turkey every year; however, few have been thoroughly investigated. On 24 September 2012, an increase in gastroenteritis cases in Terme City, Samsun Province was reported to the Public Health Institution of Turkey. We investigated this outbreak to determine its source and mode of transmission, and to recommend control measures.Methods: A matched case control investigation was conducted. A probable case had onset of diarrhoea ≥2/day and vomiting plus ≥2 of the following symptoms in a Terme City resident: abdominal pain, nausea, perceived fever. In the study, we compared exposures during 15-24 September, of probable cases and 1:1 matched neighbourhood control-persons. We took stool samples of 33 cases to identify the agent and for bacteriological, viral and parasitological tests. We inspected the water sources, water distribution system and tanks for possible cause of contamination and collected water samples.Results: We identified 4050 hospital admissions with gastroenteritis-related ICD codes from acute gastroenteritis surveillance data. The attack rate was verilerinin incelenmesinde hastaneye 4050 gastroenterit tanısı ile ilişkili ICD10 tanı kodları ile başvuru olduğu belirlenmiştir. Atak hızı %9,2’dir. Salgın incelemesinde 112 olası vakanın %65’inin kontrollerin ise %50’sinin musluk suyu içtiği ORadj=1,9; %95 GA: 1,1-3,5 , buna karşılık vakaların %39’unun kontrollerin ise %54’ünün şişe suyu içtikleri ORadj=0.51, %95 GA: 0.29-0.90 belirlenmiştir. Toplanan 33 gaita örneğinin 27’sinde kültür sonucu S. sonnei, değişik noktalardan alınan 52 su örneğinin 18’inde total koliform ve dört’ünde Escherichia coli 520 tespit edilmiştir. Çevresel incelemede, su deposunun yakınlarında kırık su borusu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Bu geniş çaplı salgın, kontamine musluk suyunun içilmesine bağlı büyük bir S. sonnei salgınıdır. Su şebeke sisteminin incelenmesi ve tamir edilmesi sağlanmıştır
