A multi drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) ward in a Lima hospital is shown in this undated photograph. Preventing the spread of disease in the hospital may be as simple as opening a window, an international team of researchers reported on February 26, 2007. The low-tech solution could help prevent the spread of airborne infections such as tuberculosis -- and ironically, old-fashioned hospitals with high ceilings and big windows may offer the best design for this, they reported.
