Emerging Infectious Diseases, 07/29/09
Bernard H et al. – Nurses’ contacts with potentially infectious persons probably place them at higher risk than the general population for infectious diseases. The findings suggest that the risk for infectious diseases by airborne transmission might be greater for nurses than for the general population because of nurses’ more frequent and more intensive professional contacts with potentially infected patients. In addition, nurses’ high proportion of work–related skin–to–skin contact highlights the potential for fecal–oral transmission of disease (e.g., norovirus infection).
