The purpose of this study was to investigate what viruses infiltrate into our nursing home, assess the related clinical symptoms in elderly subjects, and compare the incidences of infections with those in the general community. Between July 1994 and June 1995, 40 elderly persons dwelling in the nursing home were evaluated by clinical observation, serologic analysis, and viral culture of samples to determine the presence of viruses. Enteroviruses and herpes simplex I virus could be isolated from asymptomatic elderly subjects. Individuals with influenza B virus and RSV infections diagnosed by serology did have clinical symptoms. The prevalence of both influenza B virus and enteroviruses was related to that of such viruses in the general community. Our data suggest that respiratory viruses are readily transmitted from the community to nursing home residents.
