Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of Airborne Transmission of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Virus
Ignatius Tak-sun Yu,Yuguo Li,Tze Wai Wong,Wilson W.S. Tam,Andy Chan,Joseph H.W. Lee,Dennis Y.C. Leung,Thomas C. Ho +7 more
TL;DR: Airborne spread of the virus appears to explain this large community outbreak of SARS in Hong Kong, and future efforts at prevention and control must take into consideration the potential for airborne spread of this virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of ventilation in airborne transmission of infectious agents in the built environment - a multidisciplinary systematic review.
Yiping Li,Gabriel M. Leung,Julian W. Tang,Xudong Yang,Christopher Y.H. Chao,J.Z. Lin,J.W. Lu,Per Væggemose Nielsen,Jianlei Niu,Hua Qian,Adrian Sleigh,Huey-Jen Jenny Su,Jan Sundell,Tze Wai Wong,P.L. Yuen +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review panel comprising medical and engineering experts in the fields of microbiology, medicine, epidemiology, indoor air quality, building ventilation, etc. systematically assessed 40 original studies through both individual assessment and a 2-day face-to-face consensus meeting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution and hospital admissions for respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in Hong Kong.
Tze Wai Wong,T. S. Lau,Tak Sun Ignatius Yu,A. Neller,Siu Lan Wong,Wilson W.S. Tam,Sik Wing Pang +6 more
TL;DR: Adverse health effects are evident at current ambient concentrations of air pollutants in Hong Kong, and further reduction in air pollution is necessary to protect the health of the community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of air distribution in SARS transmission during the largest nosocomial outbreak in Hong Kong.
TL;DR: The study revealed the need for the development of improved ventilation and air-conditioning systems in an isolation ward or a general hospital ward for infectious respiratory diseases and demonstrated that there was room for improvement to minimize cross-infection in large general hospital wards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cluster of SARS among medical students exposed to single patient, Hong Kong.
Tze Wai Wong,Chin Kei Lee,Wilson W.S. Tam,Joseph Lau,Tak Sun Ignatius Yu,Siu-Fai Lui,Paul K.S. Chan,Yuguo Li,Joseph S. Bresee,Joseph J.Y. Sung,Umesh D. Parashar +10 more
TL;DR: Proximity to the index case-patient was associated with transmission, which is consistent with droplet spread, and transmission through fomites or small aerosols cannot be ruled out.
