Abstract The invention relates to a patient isolator room which is designed and adapted to be assembled within the confines of an ordinary hospital room. The isolator room is equipped with an airflow and filtering system which functions to isolate a patient from micro-organisms present in a hospital environment and, vice versa, to isolate a patient having an infectious disease.
