Resumo

Abstract 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.
