Conclusion: The seasonal screening program expanded our existing infection control concept in terms of patients lacking respiratory symptoms who shed influenza virus or RSV. To strengthen our existing infection control measures in hematology and oncology, we subsequently implemented a systematic influenza and RSV screening of patients lacking respiratory symptoms on a pediatric and an adult hemato-oncological ward as a prophylactic infection control measure in the following winter (2016/2017). To extend our existing standard infection control measures, we introduced a prophylactic screening program for asymptomatic patients targeting RSV and influenza on an adult and a pediatric hemato-oncological ward. ./cache/cord-328525-80xk3gln.txt ./txt/cord-328525-80xk3gln.txt
