    Author: Ang B, Poh BF, Win MK, Chow A.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2010 Apr 01; 50(7):1011-4. PubMed ID: 20178418.
    Abstract:
    There is ongoing debate about the efficacy of surgical masks versus N95 respirators for protection against pandemic novel swine-origin influenza A (H1N1)-2009. Our hospital, which is designated to manage outbreaks of emerging infection, has robust surveillance systems to detect infection in staff. The incidence of pandemic H1N1-2009 remained low in staff with use of surgical masks.
