目标。这项研究的目的是评估日托和家庭环境中甲型流感病毒在表面上的流行情况，以更好地评估混合病毒在流感传播中的潜在机械作用。在两年半的时间里，来自14个不同日托中心的218名儿童接受了测试。从卫生间、厨房和游乐区采集了10种不同的气味。此外，来自8个不同家庭的92名儿童在6个月内进行了测试。对卫生间、厨房和生活区的14种不同的家用甲醛进行了采样。用逆转录聚合酶链式反应检测甲型流感病毒RNA。在秋季采集的日托用品中有23%检测到流感，在春季采样的日托用品中有53%检测到流感。春季和秋季样本数据经卡方检验，在0.05α水平上有统计学差异，P
Objective. The goal of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of influenza A virus on surfaces in day care and home settings to better assess the potential rote of fomites in the transmission of influenza.Methods. During two and a half years, 218 fomites were tested from 14 different day care centers. Ten different fomites from bathrooms, kitchens and play areas were sampled. In addition, 92 fomites from eight different homes with children were tested over 6 months. Fourteen different household fomites from bathrooms, kitchens and living areas were sampled. Influenza A viral RNA was detected using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.Results. Influenza was detected on 23% of day care fomites sampled during the fall and 53% of fomites sampled during the spring. Spring and fall sample data was determined to be statistically different at the 0.05 alpha-level by Chi-square analysis P
