Abstract

Finland experienced three invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) outbreaks among shipyard workers at the same shipyard, in 2019, 2023 and 2025. During the latest outbreak (30 April-6 June 2025), 13 cases were reported, with six confirmed. All five isolates from blood culture-positive cases were serotype 4 - sequence type 801. These were nearly indistinguishable from three isolates from the 2019 outbreak, nine Finnish IPD surveillance isolates and isolates of a 2019 Norwegian shipyard outbreak. We found an association with welding.

2025年5月至6月，芬兰一家造船厂发生第三次涉及血清型4-ST801的肺炎链球菌病暴发。

芬兰在2019年、2023年和2025年分别在同一造船厂的造船厂工人中爆发了三次侵袭性肺炎球菌病（IPD）。在最近一次暴发期间（2025年4月30日至6月6日），报告了13例，其中6例得到确认。从血培养阳性病例中分离的5株菌株均为血清4型-序列801型。这些分离株与2019年爆发的3株分离株、9株芬兰IPD监测分离株和2019年挪威造船厂爆发的分离株几乎无法区分。我们发现它与焊接有关。
