简介:AbstractViral isolation in cell cultures has been regarded for decades as the "gold standard" for the laboratory diagnosis of influenza viral infections. Not all viral strains could be isolated from clinical samples. This study aimed to quantify the viral load in the samples before isolation to save working time and improve working efficiency. Four hundred samples from patients with influenza-like cases were confirmed pdmH1N1 positive (200 cases) and B Victoria (BV) positive (200 cases) by whole-genome sequencing and analyzed by ddPCR for viral load in samples before isolation, and isolation results were verified by hemagglutination (HA) assay and hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) tests. Probit regression analysis was used to calculate the isolation viral load limit with a 95% probability level by SPSS 19.0 software. The results showed that the isolation limit of viral load was 4.9 × 104 (95% CI: 2.5 × 104-9.0 × 104) copies/mL for pdmH1N1 and 1.9 × 104 (95% CI: 7.8 × 103-3.6 × 104) copies/mL for BV. The isolation rate of clinical samples is positively correlated with the viral load in clinical samples, which can be used for viral culture, providing important guidance for daily work.
简介:AbstractPatients with acute infectious respiratory illness may emit bio-aerosols containing pathogens to infect susceptible hosts, including other patients and healthcare workers. This study aimed to design the pediatric isolation (PI) bed and evaluate its purification effect on aerosols and microorganisms in the air in experiment rooms and verify the general wards' purification efficiency. The PI bed is connected to a purification device that surrounds the child's head to prevent contaminants' spread into the room. We test the purification effect of the PI bed in the experiment room and verified the purification effect of the PI bed in the hospital. The results showed that PI beds in the demonstration ward presented purifying effects on both smoke particulates and microorganisms like Staphylococcus albus (S. albus) and H1N1 virus. The Aerosol in the room in the hospital was then detected to validity the purification rate. Therefore, Isolation beds could be used in hospitals to reduce the risk of nosocomial infection to protect the health of doctors, patients, and visitors.
