Safe design and maintenance of bone marrow transplant units: a narrative review
2022, Clinical Microbiology and InfectionCitation Excerpt :Several studies support the use of HEPA filtration to protect BMT and leukaemic patients [28–32]. One paper reports the risk of hospital acquired aspergillosis as being tenfold greater in BMT patients when not accommodated in a HEPA-filtered environment [28]. No cases were identified among 39 BMT patients accommodated in a HEPA-filtered room versus 14 cases in 74 BMT patients who were housed elsewhere [28].
