The purpose of this study was to investigate what viruses infiltrate into our nursing home, assess the related clinical symptoms in elderly subjects, and compare the incidence of infections with those in the general community. Between July 1994 and June 1995, 40 elderly persons dwelling in the nursing home were evaluated by clinical observation, serologic analysis, and viral culture of samples to determine the presence of viruses. Enteroviruses and herpes simplex I virus could be isolated from asymptomatic elderly subjects. Individuals with influenza B virus and RSV infections diagnosed by serology did have clinical symptoms. The prevalence of both influenza B virus and enteroviruses was related to that of such viruses in the general community. Our data suggest that respiratory viruses are readily transmitted from the community to nursing home residents.
本研究的目的是调查哪些病毒侵入我们的养老院，评估老年受试者的相关临床症状，并将感染发生率与普通社区的感染发生率进行比较。1994年7月至1995年6月期间，通过临床观察、血清学分析和样本病毒培养对居住在养老院的40名老年人进行评估，以确定病毒的存在情况。肠道病毒和单纯疱疹I型病毒可从无症状的老年受试者中分离出来。经血清学诊断为感染乙型流感病毒和呼吸道合胞病毒的个体确实有临床症状。乙型流感病毒和肠道病毒的流行率与普通社区中此类病毒的流行率相关。我们的数据表明，呼吸道病毒很容易从社区传播到养老院居民中。
