爱尔兰充气城堡活动引发MRSA感染暴发 48名儿童患病

2025年秋季，爱尔兰一个社区举办的充气城堡活动成为耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）感染暴发的源头1。本次暴发共导致48名儿童患上皮肤和软组织感染1。该活动共有约120名参与者，其中约一半为儿童和青少年1。患者在活动后一天内开始出现症状1。

在患病儿童中，33人接受门诊治疗，15人前往急诊就医，4人住院1。所有患者已经康复1。这起感染事件已被记录在公共卫生期刊《Eurosurveillance》中1。

An outbreak of MRSA infections struck 48 children in an Irish community following participation in a shared inflatable castle activity in autumn 2025 1. The incident resulted in skin and soft tissue infections across the group of young participants, with symptoms emerging within a day of the event 1.

Among the 48 infected children, the severity of illness varied considerably 1. Thirty-three cases were managed through outpatient treatment, while 15 children required emergency department care 1. Four patients necessitated hospitalization 1. Notably, all affected individuals have since recovered 1. The activity had drawn approximately 120 attendees overall, of whom roughly half were children and teenagers 1.

The investigation into this outbreak was documented in the journal Eurosurveillance, providing epidemiological documentation of how a single shared piece of recreational equipment became a vector for the antibiotic-resistant pathogen 1.
