    Hospital Cross Infection Risk?

    Does this study now preclude cohort nursing of babies with RSV?

    A major finding was: "Infants with dual infections (RSV and hBoV) had a higher clinical severity score and more days of hospitalisation"

    We put babies with RSV infection into a room together and can not be sure none of them are also infected with Bocavirus, so is there a danger that Bocavirus crossinfection will cause significant morbidity?...

    Should we now stop cohort nursing babies with RSV?

    A major finding of this study was: "Infants with dual infections (RSV and hBoV) had a higher clinical severity score and more days of hospitalisation"

    In our hospital, and many others round the world, babies with RSV infection are nursed in a room together and are not tested for Bocavirus. Should this practice now stop to prevent Bocavirus crossinfection increasing morbidity?
