摘要

To the Editor: Since January2004, 35 human cases of avianinfluenza A virus H5N1 have beenreported in Vietnam. Human-to-human transmission of H5N1 is amajor concern, particularly because ofreported family clustering (1). Twoprobable cases of human-to-humantransmission were recently reportedfrom Thailand (2), and evidence forhuman-to-human transmission wasfound in the 1997 Hong Kong out-break (3). We evaluated healthcareworkers exposed to 2 patients(patients 5 and 6 [1], referred to aspatients A and B, respectively, in thisarticle) with H5N1 infection, con-firmed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR), to determine the potential riskfor nosocomial human-to-humantransmission of H5N1.Patient A was admitted to a gener-al ward of a pediatric hospital in HoChi Minh City on January 15, 2004,on day 8 of illness; no infection con-trol measures were taken at that time.On January 18, 2004, she was trans-ferred to the intensive care unit (ICU).Eight hours after ICU admission, lim-ited infection control measures wereimplemented: the patient was trans-ferred to a single room, and healthcareworkers were required to use dispos-able surgical masks and gloves andwear nondisposable gowns. However,because resources were limited, eachhealthcare worker wore only 1 glove
