Brote de parotiditis relacionado con el fumar en un narguile de uso público / Mumps virus outbreak related to a water pipe (narghile) shared smoking

Introducción: En este estudio se describe un brote de parotiditis que afectó a un grupo de jóvenes que compartieron un narguile para fumar. Métodos: La notificación de un caso de parotiditis dio lugar a una investigación epidemiológica. Se recabó información de otras 6personas sintomáticas que se habían reunido en una discoteca en la que habían fumado en un mismo narguile. Se obtuvieron muestras de saliva para RT-PCR y sangre para serología de parotiditis de otros 3de estos casos. Las muestras RT-PCR positivas se genotipificaron por secuenciación. Resultados: Los 7 pacientes residían en 3municipios diferentes. Hacía más de un mes que no habían coincidido hasta que estuvieron en la discoteca. Cuatro casos se confirmaron por RT-PCR o IgM específica. La investigación genómica mostró secuencias idénticas. Conclusiones: Este brote es consecuencia de un uso compartido de un narguile. Consideramos que se debería regular la utilización pública de estas pipas.(AU)

Introduction: This study describes a mumps outbreak among a group of young people who shared a same narghile to smoking. Saliva and blood samples were obtained from 3cases for RT-PCR and serology respectively. Methods: The notification of a mumps case started an epidemiological investigation. Information of other 6additional symptomatic persons who had gathered with the case in a discotheque where they smoking in a same narghile was achieved. RT-PCR positive samples were genotyped by sequencing. Results: The 7patients resided in 3different municipalities, and they do not have get together for more than a month until the meeting in the discotheque. Four cases were confirmed by RT-PCR and/or IgM determinations. The genomic investigation showed identical nucleic sequences. Conclusions: This outbreak is consequence of the common use of a narghile to smoking. The public usage of these water pipes should be regulated.(AU)
