Control of influenza outbreaks in the nursing home: guidelines for diagnosis and management.

I H Gomolin1, H B Leib, N H Arden, F T Sherman.   

Abstract

A well coordinated plan that includes a mechanism for surveillance, rapid antigen detection testing and viral culture, infection control techniques and chemoprophylaxis is effective for aborting outbreaks of influenza A in the nursing home. Amantadine has been better studied in this situation, and experience with rimantadine is limited. The safety and efficacy of our dose guidelines for nursing home residents need to be studied and directly compared with rimantadine dose guidelines. Except for chemoprophylaxis, these guidelines can be applied to outbreaks of influenza B as well.
