新不列颠哥伦比亚省S[加拿大]儿童医院的所有水痘或带状疱疹患者都在配备负压通风的单床室中进行适当的预防护理。在1年多的随访中，110例同时在病房的易感患者以及6例水痘和1例免疫低下的水痘带状疱疹皮肤播散者均未发现医院感染。在前一家医院的前一项研究中，在人员、控制措施和患者数量相似的情况下，在没有负压通风的隔离设施中，41名易感患者中有7名发生了医院感染，他们与2名水痘患者住在同一病房。显然，没有气锁的简单负压通风系统是控制皮肤水痘感染的有效辅助手段。
All patients at the new British Columbia''s [Canada] Children''s Hospital with chickenpox or herpes zoster are nursed with appropriate precautions in single-bed rooms provided with negative pressure ventilation. Over a period of 1 yr, no nosocomial infections were detected on follow-up of 110 susceptible patients who had been on wards at the same time as 6 cases of chickenpox and 1 immunocompromised patient with cutaneous dissemination of varicella zoster. In a preceding study at the previous hospital, with similar staff, control measures and patient population, in an isolation facility without negative pressure ventilation, noscomial infections occurred in 7 of 41 susceptible patients who were on the same ward as 2 patients with chickenpox. Evidently, a simple negative pressure ventilation system without air locks is a useful adjunct in the control of cutaneous varicella infections.
