Description:

This document updates recommendations (MMWR 1995; 44 (25) ;475-9 www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/000 38033.htm) for managing patients with suspected viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) who are admitted to U.S. hospitals. This document provides additional epidemiologic data on the transmission of VHF and updated recommendations on infection control precautions during patient care, environmental infection control procedures, case reporting, specimen handling and testing, handling of human remains, and post-exposure management. The terms and categories of isolation in this document are based on those outlined in the Guideline for Isolation Precautions in Hospitals (www.cdc.gov /ncidod/hip/ISOLA T/Isolat.htm l). These interim recommendations will be updated as additional information becomes available.
