Quickly and safely diagnosing patients with highly infectious diseases is a technically complex facility and operational challenge. Here, Giuseppe Ippolito outlines the emerging European standard for patient care high isolation units, and he profiles the recently-completed Biocontainment Patient Care Unit (BPCU) at Italy’s Institute of Infectious Diseases, which couples embedded BSL-3 and BSL-4 diagnostic labs with a comprehensive operational plan for treatment of patients and protection of healthcare workers. He details facility layouts, workflows, training practices, and facility operating protocols that mitigate risk and speed diagnosis of unknown viruses.
