Article Title: | SARS-CoV-2 surveillance testing and isolation management of immunocompromised patients: Survey results from 13 health care centers in the United States |
Abstract: | As a newly emerging pathogen, infection prevention and isolation management response for SARS-CoV-2 varied greatly by individual health care center. Specific patient population needs, especially those of severely immunocompromised oncologic patients, potentially intensified the response. A survey was distributed to academic health care centers to ascertain surveillance testing frequency, patient placement, and isolation management for patients undergoing cell therapy treatments. © 2024 Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. |
