Transmission and Control of Respiratory Viral Infections in the Healthcare Setting	2018-04-30		.txt	text/plain	4737	248	37	The purpose of this review is to describe the most frequent and relevant nosocomial viral respiratory infections, their mechanisms of transmission and the infection control measures to prevent their spread in the healthcare setting. RECENT FINDINGS: Although most mechanisms of transmission and control measures of nosocomial viral infections are already known, improved diagnostic tools allow better characterization of these infections and also lead to the discovery of new viruses such as the coronavirus, which is the cause of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or the human bocavirus. Influenza virus can be transmitted through infectious droplets eliminated by patients when coughing or sneezing, or through direct contact with surfaces contaminated by respiratory secretions from symptomatic infected subjects (Table 1 ) [32] . Preventive measures to avoid adenovirus nosocomial infections include patient cohorting, reduction of visitors and contact and droplet precautions, along with the exclusion of infected healthcare workers from clinical duties (Table 2 ) [13, 36] .	./cache/cord-339039-6gyo9rya.txt	./txt/cord-339039-6gyo9rya.txt
