BACKGROUND: After @entity11447 was reported in three workers caring for preweaned @entity291 at an academic research laboratory, we sought to identify cases, determine risk factors, and implement control measures. METHODS: A @entity11447 case was defined as @entity294 duration >= 72   hr, @entity10304 in an animal research laboratory worker during July 14-July 31. A confirmed case had laboratory evidence of Cryptosporidium infection. Staff were interviewed regarding illness, potential exposures, training, and personal protective equipment (PPE) standard operating procedures (SOPs). RESULTS: The @entity11447 @entity1168 ( @entity1168 ) was 74% (20/27); five were laboratory-confirmed. Median job training was 2   hr including respiratory-fit testing. No SOPs existed for doffing PPE. @entity1168 for workers who removed their gloves first was 84% (16/19) compared with 20% (1/5) for workers who removed gloves last (risk ratio   =   4.2; P   <   0.02). CONCLUSIONS: This outbreak highlights the importance of adequate training, enforced proper PPE procedures, and promoting a culture of safety. Am. J. Ind.
