LABORATORY INFECTIONS

Abstract

With the advances of science and technology, laboratory examinations are extended to an increasing number of disease agents. Likewise, the work methods to which the germs are subjected increase in number and complexity. As a consequence, there will be more and more infections of personnel. This is a report on the cause and frequency of laboratory infections and on measures for the protection of personnel. Other injuries which may be experienced by persons working in the laboratory (such as surgical injuries, burns, intoxications) are not discussed.
