Abstract

MARCH ROSSELLO, G.A.  and  EIROS BOUZA, J.M.. Nosocomial respiratory viral infection. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2014, vol.37, n.2, pp.265-279. ISSN 1137-6627.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1137-66272014000200010.

Nosocomial viral infections have not been well studied. In this context, the aim of this work is to review epidemiological and therapeutic data published on the main viral agents that can produce nosocomial respiratory infection. The study thus aims to expand knowledge of behaviour of these agents in nosocomial infections and provide information to improve the implementation of preventive measures. The concepts of mimivirus, herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, cytomegalovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus, influenza virus, adenovirus, metapneumovirus and measles viruses are discussed in detail.

Keywords : Nosocomial respiratory viral infection.
