Abstract
Diagnostic difficulties may have led to underestimation of rhinovirus infections in long-term care facilities. Using surveillance data, we found that rhinovirus caused 59% (174/297) of respiratory outbreaks in these facilities during 6 months in 2009. Disease was sometimes severe. Molecular diagnostic testing can differentiate these outbreaks from other infections such as influenza.
摘要
诊断困难可能导致长期护理机构低估了鼻病毒感染。我们利用监测数据发现，2009 年 6 个月期间，这些机构共发生了 174 起（174/297）呼吸道暴发事件，其中 59%是由鼻病毒引起的。这些疾病有时很严重。分子诊断检测可以将这些暴发与其他感染（如流感）区分开来。
