Popis:	Summary: A ventilation system combining fresh air intake with recirculation of ward air, through an electrostatic air filter, was introduced into a ward in which it had been shown that poor ventilation was a major factor in its high cross infection rate. A considerable reduction in bacterial air contamination and in the cross infection rate in that ward was achieved.
