Abstract
Within a 3-week period, 2 patients developed Pseudomonas aeruginosa septicemia after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. A contaminated endoscope which was found to be the source of the outbreak was later successfully disinfected. The importance of proper disinfection of such equipment cannot be overemphasized.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
