RIDHA DJEBENIANI started a discussion "infection control in the case of A H1N1 influenza" in the TB Infection Control community.
Guidelines regarding infection control in the case of A H1N1 influenza seem different from those related to TB, with use of chirurgical masks instead of respirators and simpler environmental measures consisting of natural ventilation and keeping a one meter distance from the case. Is there any confirmation from the community members or any additional information. Thank you.
