Abstract: The purpose of this study is to measure the amount of viable influenza virus in airborne particles that are produced by patients when they cough, and the size and quantity of the particles carrying the virus. A better understanding of the amount of potentially infectious material released by patients and the size of particles carrying the virus will assist in determining the possible role of airborne transmission in the spread of influenza and in devising measures to prevent it. After agreeing to participate, eligible participants provide nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs and cough into an aerosol particle collection system for testing, as well as complete forms.
