Global outbreak of severe Mycobacterium chimaera disease after cardiac surgery: a molecular epidemiological study.Published in
Lancet Infect Dis 2017, 17(10):1033-41Publiekssamenvatting
Since 2013, over 100 cases of Mycobacterium chimaera prosthetic valve endocarditis and disseminated disease were notified in Europe and the USA, linked to contaminated heater-cooler units (HCUs) used during cardiac surgery. We did a molecular epidemiological investigation to establish the source of these patients' disease.PMID
