Sammanfattning
Infection control differs among nations. Notably in USA strict measures are enforced to prevent air-borne tuberculosis (TB) transmission. In several European countries focus is on droplet transmission, close to patients. In the absence of strict evidence to resolve this divergence, an empiric, Danish guideline for infection control in hospitals is presented. If multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB is documented or suspected, according to risk-factors, patients should remain under air-borne precautions. The vast majority of Danish TB-patients (non-MDR) require less demanding, hygienic precautions.
