Abstract

We report nosocomial Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Spain, which was confirmed microbiologically and genomically. Transmission occurred through insufficiently disinfected reusable syringe lead shielding during thyroid scintigraphy. Genomic analysis showed high similarity between isolates from index and source cases. Strict biosafety measures are needed in healthcare settings to prevent malaria transmission.

恶性疟原虫疟疾医院传播，西班牙，2024

我们报告了西班牙医院感染的恶性疟原虫疟疾，这是微生物学和基因组学证实的。传播发生在甲状腺显像期间消毒不充分的可重复使用的注射器屏蔽铅。基因组分析显示，索引病例分离物与源病例分离物高度相似。在卫生保健环境中需要采取严格的生物安全措施，以防止疟疾传播。
