  • This study used a sensitive polymerase chain reaction method coupled with filter sampling to detect the presence of airborne severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus in an isolation patient room with a patient with severe acute respiratory syndrome receiving mechanical ventilatory support. Polymerase chain reaction results were negative for SARS coronavirus in room air both before and after patient extubation.

  • We attempted to detect the presence of airborne SARS-coronavirus (CoV) in a healthcare setting when a patient with SARS used a humidifier or a large-volume nebulizer (LVN). All of the air samples from the humidifier and LVN were found to have negative SARS-CoV-specific DNA products.
