在医院急诊室收集了大小分级的气溶胶颗粒，以测试空气中的流感病毒。使用实时聚合酶链反应，我们证实了空气中流感病毒的存在，并发现53%的可检测流感病毒颗粒在可吸入气溶胶部分。我们的研究结果提供了流感病毒可能通过空气传播的证据。
Size-fractionated aerosol particles were collected in a hospital emergency department to test for airborne influenza virus. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction, we confirmed the presence of airborne influenza virus and found that 53% of detectable influenza virus particles were within the respirable aerosol fraction. Our results provide evidence that influenza virus may spread through the airborne route.
