Highlights of this issue

Couverture:
Mark Loeb et ses collaborateurs ont procédé à une surveillance active et à une vérification rétrospective des dossiers pour suivre les flambées d'infection des voies respiratoires dans cinq foyers de soins infirmiers (page 1133). Ils soulignent combien il importe, pour prendre sans délai les mesures appropriées, d'assurer une surveillance adéquate et de poser tôt le diagnostic.
