Abstract

Pediatric long-term care facilities (pLTCFs) provide for children with chronic, complex medical needs and therefore face unique challenges for infection prevention and control (IP&C). At a conference in 2012, pLTCF providers reported IP&C issues of greatest concern in a survey. Major concerns included the lack of IP&C best practice guidelines, multidrug-resistant bacteria, and viral respiratory infections. Best practice guidelines for IP&C specific to pLTCF populations should be developed and evaluated.
