title: [Use of plastic isolators in the prevention of infection in high risk patients with hematologic diseases].
abstract: The authors report a microbiological study of the flora of high risk adults with blood diseases isolated in hermetically sealed plastic isolater. This type of isolation is very effective in the prevention of infections due to hospital germs as such contamination occurred only twice in 292 days isolation and was found in only 0.8% on samples. The efficacy of methods of body decontamination and the incidence of infective complications in our series is also reported.
