ryväs, ryvästymä, klusteri


Definition from Duodecim:
"tapausryväs" myös käytössä.
tulosten perusteella noin 40 % tapauksista kuuluu tuberkuloosiklusteriin eli rypääseen. Rypääseen kuuluminen tarkoittaa usein sitä, että kyseessä on tuore tartunta ja potilaiden välillä on jonkinlainen epidemiologinen yhteys. (Duodecim)

Example sentence(s):
  • ITALIAN koronavirusepidemian toinen ryväs havaittiin viime viikon perjantaina, kun Venetsian läheisyydessä sijaitsevassa Vòn kylässä todettiin kaksi tartuntaa. - HS  
  • Jos lapsella todetaan tuberkuloosi, tartunnan lähdettä on etsittävä lapsen lähipiiristä. Erikoistilanteissa on syytä tehdä jäljitys yhteistyössä perusterveydenhuollon ja erikoissairaanhoidon kanssa. Näin kannattaa tehdä esimerkiksi silloin, kun tartunnan lähde löytyy päiväkodista, koulusta tai pitkäaikaishoitolaitoksesta tai kun kysymyksessä on tapausryväs, jolloin selvitystyö voi olla mutkikasta. - Duodecim  
  • Koulussa ilmennyt tartuntaryväs on kasvattanut tapauslukuja viime päivinä Saksassa (195) ja Ranskassa (106). - Lääkärilehti
