CASE STUDY
In July 2009, local, regional, state, and federal public health officials investigated a ___________ outbreak at a youth summer camp in North Carolina (kids ages 10-16). The investigation identified 46 laboratory-confirmed and probable ____________ cases at the camp. Analyses of data from a retrospective cohort study of staff members revealed that eating ____ from a sandwich bar that included camp-grown raw produce and sharing a cabin with an ill person were significantly associated with illness. This investigation underscores the importance of reducing the risk for ___________ transmission in camp settings and the value of _________ subtyping as a tool to elucidate _______________ epidemiology.
On June 24, owners of a North Carolina youth summer camp and health-care providers began identifying cases of diarrhea in campers and staff members and notified local public health officials. By June 30, local, regional, and state public health officials had identified four laboratory-confirmed cases of __________ and >30 cases of diarrhea at the camp. CDC was asked to collaborate on the investigation because no common outbreak exposure was identified and multiple potential outbreak sources were present at the camp. The investigation focused on identifying risk factors and implementing control measures to stop transmission at the camp.
