Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses DOI: 10.1111/j.1750‐2659.2010.00198.x. Background We compared the efficacy of medical masks, N95 respirators (fit tested and non fit tested), in health care workers (HCWs). [16] [17] [18] The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of medical masks compared to fit-tested and non-fit-tested N95 respirators in HCWs in the prevention of disease because of influenza and other respiratory viruses. For all outcomes, non-fit-tested N95 respirators had lower rates of infections compared to fit-tested N95s (for all N95 versus medical masks, the rates were 3AE9% versus 6AE7% for CRI, 0AE3% versus 0AE6% for ILI, 1AE4% versus 2AE6% for laboratory-confirmed virus and 0AE3% versus 1% for influenza) but these differences were not significant. ./cache/cord-269665-byuv48wi.txt ./txt/cord-269665-byuv48wi.txt
