Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Background:

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a severe neuroinvasive disease caused by the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV).
TBEV is endemic across Eurasia, posing significant health risks including persistent neurologic deficits and mortality.
Special Operations Forces (SOF) operating in endemic regions face elevated infection risks due to the nature of their missions.

Conclusions:

SOF medical providers must be knowledgeable about TBE and its risks to SOF.
The recently approved TBE vaccine should be considered for SOF operating in or deploying to TBE-endemic regions.
Proactive consideration of TBE vaccination is crucial for mitigating disease impact on SOF readiness and operations.
