先生，我特别感兴趣地阅读了AA Miles教授和他的同事关于战争伤口医院感染的中期报告（1940年12月21日（第855页）和28日（第895页））以及您关于这一主题的主要文章（第908页）。开放的病房容纳了许多病人，有利于交叉感染。这一事实对于负责发烧医院的人来说是众所周知的。研究发现，猩红热病例在第3至第6周内复发，主要是由于再次感染不同血清学类型的溶血链球菌所致。这些复发可以通过“无菌”护理技术和在病房的细胞中治疗病人的预防措施来预防。这种类型的病房可能是发烧和外科病例的未来病房。我们应该彻底改变我们对医院病房设计的观念的时候到了。当我们开始重建我们的医院时，不应再次失去我们现在正在重新吸取的教训。12月30日，斯旺西，Gorseinon, GE DONOVAN。卫生医务干事。
SIR,-I have read with particular interest Prof. AA Miles and his colleagues' interim report on hospital infection of war wounds (December 21 (p. 855) and 28, 1940 (p. 895)) and your leading article on the subject (p. 908). The open ward, housing a number of patients, favours cross-infection. This fact is well known to those in charge of fever hospitals. It has been found that the relapses of scarlet fever cases during the third to the sixth week are mainly due to a reinfection with a different serological type haemolytic streptococcus. These relapses can be prevented by an" aseptic" technique of nursing and the precaution of treating the patient in the cell of a chamber-ward. This type of ward is probably the ward of the future for both fever and surgical cases. The time has come when we should radically alter our conception of the design of hospital wards. The lesson which we are now re-learning should not be again lost when we start rebuilding our hospitals.-I am, etc., GE DONOVAN, Gorseinon, Swansea, Dec. 30. Medical Officer of Health.
