Epidemiological Assessment of the Incidence of Acute Respiratory Viral Infection in Children''s Multidisciplinary Hospital
The results of the evaluation of the incidence of acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) in a large children's multidisciplinary hospital are presented. It was established that the epidemic process of ARVI in the conditions of a children's versatile hospital was characterized by high intensity, the prevalence of infections associated with the provision of medical care, and different intensity in the departments, due to the contingent of patients, the features of the treatment and diagnostic process, the intensity of infection drifts. The risk factors for ARVI were high rates of infection drift, overconsolidation of departments, untimely isolation of patients, as well as inefficient ventilation. The introduction of targeted epidemiological surveillance for ARVI in hospital conditions made it possible to quickly assess the epidemiological situation in a multidisciplinary hospital in general and separately for each department for timely and adequate implementation of preventive and anti-epidemic measures.
