Can psychiatric nurses 'catch' schizophrenia?

S J Cooper et al. Br J Psychiatry. 1987 Oct.

Abstract

The incidence of schizophrenia among psychiatric and general trained nurses was investigated for the period 1955-1979 in Northern Ireland. No difference was found. These results do not support the hypothesis of schizophrenia as a horizontally transmitted infectious disease.
