DANGER OF INFECTION IN THE TUBERCULOSIS LABORATORY
Abstract
Many procedures commonly carried out in microbiological laboratories are liable to result in the production of infected sprays or aerosols. Although this possibility of infection by airborne particles has hitherto received little attention, the observation by English and American authors that the frequency of tuberculosis among laboratory personnel is higher than among comparable occupational groups clearly indicates that it constitutes a very real risk.
