Go to:
http://www.cdc.gov/publications.htm
scroll down about 1/2 the page til you see a section titled, National Center for Infectious Diseases, click on that.
Most, if not all, hospitals have an Infection Control Nurse or Nurse Epidemiologist. S/he is an excellent resource for isolation issues.
Also, most hospitals base their Isolation Policies and Proceedures on the CDC recommendations.

Welcome boggle. Hang around here, this is the BEST place I've found yet to ask a question and hear it like it (really ) is.
I see prmenrs beat me to it. CDC is THE authority on bugs and beasties and things that go bump in the night etc.
oops. sorry, P!!!
