Many moons ago, the US CDC came out with DoEpi, which was computer-based
instruction in outbreak investigation, using the CDC's Epi Info software.
I recall two instructionally useful cases in DoEpi: the Oswego church
supper outbreak (a classic!) and a nosocomial outbreak of
post-sternotomy sternal osteomyelitis with Rhodococcus.
I'd like to use these cases in an intro epidemiology class in a new MPH
program, but with R. I no longer have my old DoEpi files. I found the
Oswego church supper data in the R epitools package. Does anyone know if
the rhodococcus dataset is available somewhere?
Thanks.
