Abstract

The rate of purified protein derivative (PPD) conversion in workers at our hospital increased to 1.7% in 1991. After implementation of mandatory respiratory isolation of patients with community-acquired pneumonia, the rate dropped to 0.6%. This policy may protect workers in institutions where the majority of patients with pneumonia have risk factors for tuberculosis.

摘要

我院工作人员中纯化蛋白衍生物（PPD）转化率在1991年升至1.7%。在对社区获得性肺炎患者实施强制性呼吸道隔离后，该转化率降至0.6%。这一政策可能会保护那些大多数肺炎患者有结核病危险因素的机构中的工作人员。
