These studies evaluated the effectiveness of ethanol hand sanitizers with or without organic acids to remove detectable rhinovirus from the hands and prevent experimental rhinovirus infection. Ethanol hand sanitizers were significantly more effective than hand washing with soap and water. The addition of organic acids to the ethanol provided residual virucidal activity that persisted for at least 4 h. Whether these treatments will reduce rhinovirus infection in the natural setting remains to be determined.
这些研究评估了含有或不含有机酸的乙醇手部消毒剂对手上可检测到的鼻病毒的清除效果,以及预防实验性鼻病毒感染的效果。乙醇手部消毒剂比用肥皂和水洗对手部的消毒效果更显著。在乙醇中添加有机酸可提供持续至少 4 小时的残留病毒杀灭活性。这些处理方法是否能减少自然环境中的鼻病毒感染,仍有待确定。
