摘要
Outbreaks of infectious diseases in psychiatric units are very different from those in intensive care units or acute medical-surgical units. Outbreaks in psychiatric units are most often caused by agents circulating in the community. Infection control in psychiatric units also faces unique challenges due to the characteristics of the patients and facilities. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2013;34(1):80-88
