Patients admitted to health care facilities with suspected or confirmed TB should be placed in an airborne infection isolation (AII) room (i.e., negative pressure rooms with > 6 air changes per hour; > 12 for new construction); air from AII rooms should be exhausted directly to the outside or through a HEPA filter before being recirculated.
