This article advocates for a universal approach to infection control measures in cystic fibrosis. The central tenets of infection control include hand hygiene, contact precautions, regular microbiological surveillance and adopting inpatient, outpatient, domestic and social practices to minimise acquisition of common CF pathogens. Infection control measures should be proactive and prospective, assuming all patients harbour aggressive pathogens, and not relying on past culture results. The challenges of implementing these policies include cost, equipment, education, consistency, meticulousness all whilst balancing additional procedures to a busy clinical workload.
本文倡导在囊性纤维化中采取通用的感染控制措施。感染控制的核心原则包括手部卫生、接触预防、定期进行微生物监测,并采取住院、门诊、家庭和社会措施,以尽量减少常见 CF 病原体的获得。感染控制措施应该是积极主动和前瞻性的,假设所有患者都携带侵袭性病原体,而不是依赖过去的培养结果。实施这些政策的挑战包括成本、设备、教育、一致性、细致性,同时要在繁忙的临床工作量中平衡额外的程序。
