Disease hazards in the medical research laboratory are principally infectious hazards. The infections are difficult to recognize and control. Although reliable statistics are lacking, available data indicate that the loss of work days and the number of deaths warrant improved reporting, more epidemiological attention, and judicious use of known control measures.
