Q.4 Poor hand hygiene of a mess worker in a university college mess led to Hepatitis A cases in the hostel inmates. What type of epidemic will this exposure present with?
1. Propagated
2. Common source-continuous exposure
3. Common source-point exposure
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
(a) 1 and 2
(b) 1 and 3
(c) 1 only
(d) 2 only
ANS- (d) 2 only
Explanation :- Common-source, continuous or repeated exposure example:
A prostitute may be a common source in a gonorrhoea outbreak,
A well of contaminated water, or a nationally distributed brand of vaccine (e.g. polio vaccine), or food.
This outbreak, as in other outbreaks of this type, continued beyond the range of one
incubation period.
Propagated:
A propagated epidemic is most often of infectious origin and results from person-to-person transmission of an infectious agent (e.g., epidemics of hepatitis A and polio).
Common source-point exposure:
The exposure to the disease agent is brief and essentially simultaneous, the resultant cases all develop within one incubation period of the disease (e.g., an epidemic of food poisoning).
