Abstract

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of disinfection and isolation measures on hospital-acquired infection and control and prevention for SARS. METHODS Based on the problems of hospital-acquired infection control and prevention for SARS in Henan Province, the prevention measures including intensive training, standardized precautions, and management were strengthened in all hospitals in Henan. RESULTS There were no any infection for health care workers and no spreading of SARS cases in Henan, no exporting cases from Henan, and no any death cases. CONCLUSIONS The hospital-acquired infection of SARS can be prevented and controlled by means of the effective measures such as disinfection and isolation.
