为了测试呼吸道合胞病毒 (RSV) 的院内传播是否会通过接触被 RSV 感染的鼻分泌物污染的环境表面而发生，对从媒体、汇集的成人分泌物和住院婴儿的分泌物中分离出的 RSV 在环境中的存活情况进行了检查。新鲜获得的婴儿分泌物中的 RSV 从工作台面中回收长达 6 小时，从橡胶手套中回收长达 1 1/2 小时，从布长袍和纸巾中回收 30-45 分钟，从皮肤中回收长达 20 分钟。培养基和混合分泌物中的 RSV 存活时间稍长。进一步的实验表明，传染性病毒可以转移到接触这些受污染表面的手上，并且可以在长达 25 分钟的时间内从这些手上恢复。 RSV 在受感染婴儿分泌物环境中的存活足以将传染性病毒转移到医院工作人员的手中。通过接触受污染的婴儿分泌物进行自我接种可能是 RSV 院内传播的潜在方式。
To test whether nosocomial spread of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) could occur through contact with environmental surfaces contaminated by RSV-infected nasal secretions, survival in the environment of RSV isolated from media, pooled adult secretions and secretions from hospitalized infants was examined. RSV in freshly obtained infant secretions was recovered from countertops for up to 6 h, from rubber gloves for up to 1 1/2 h, from cloth gowns and paper tissue for 30-45 min and from skin for up to 20 min. RSV in media and pooled secretions survived for slightly longer periods. Further experiments demonstrated that infectious virus could be transferred to hands touching these contaminated surfaces and could be recovered from these hands for up to 25 min. Survival of RSV in the environment of infected infant secretions is sufficient to allow transfer of infectious virus to the hands of hospital personnel. Self-inoculation by contact with contaminated infant secretions may be a potential mode of nosocomial transmission of RSV.
