INFECTION IN THE LABORATORY

Abstract

The frequency and the risk of laboratory infections are often underestimated. Studies on the number of people infected in laboratories have shown that the possibility of an infection with pathogens, which are under investigation, is greater than is generally believed. The method of infection and the source of the infection may vary widely. The danger of infection is equivalent to that for people working in a hospital-station where infectious illnesses are treated.
