Hospital-acquired viral pathogens in the neonatal intensive care unit	2002-10-31		.txt	text/plain	5552	324	46	We review the common viral causes of hospital-acquired infections in neonates, including rotavirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and others, discuss epidemiology and clinical syndromes, and summarize recommendations for control in outbreak situations. Once HAV has been introduced, several aspects of the NICU setting appear to encourage spread of virus: 1) The likelihood that affected neonates may be asymptomatic; 2) Fecal-oral spread by personnel who care for multiple patients with tasks that may include the changing of diapers and the placement or manipulation of enteral feeding equipment; 3) Lack of adherence to hand washing and glove wearing; and 4) Increased duration of viral shedding among infants.	./cache/cord-255704-cg3j4jac.txt	./txt/cord-255704-cg3j4jac.txt
