• AIHA Conference--Infection Control Breakout, Part V The following transcript is an excerpt taken from the proceedings of the Infection Control Breakout Session of the 1994 Annual Conference of the American International Health Alliance, held in St.Petersburg, Russia.
• APHA Session Features Emerging Infections The session, titled "Emerging Infections: Solving the Mysteries in the Field and Laboratory," will focus on the worldwide impact of new and reemerging infections from both an epidemiologic and laboratory perspective.
• Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories Microbiology laboratories are special, often unique, work environments that may pose identifiable infectious disease risks to persons in or near them. Infections have been contracted in the laboratory throughout the history of microbiology.
• Bug Bytes Each biweekly issue of Bug Bytes will attempt to present a single problem in Infectious Diseases. The format will be a brief, and hopefully useful, piece of information concerning the diagnosis, therapy, or biology of an infectious disease.
• CDC Prevention Guidelines CDC Prevention Guidelines from A-Z.
• CDC Prevention Guidelines: Recommended Infection-Control Practices for Dentistry, 1993 This document updates previously published CDC recommendations for infection-control practices for dentistry (1-3) and offers guidance for reducing the risks of disease transmission among dental health-care workers (DHCWs) and their patients.
• CDC: Emerging Infectious Disease Threats CDC proposes improvements in the public health system that would allow effective detection and prevention of emerging infections and ultimately reduce health care costs.
• CDC: Hospital Infections Program The Hospital Infections Program (HIP) of the National Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is the focus for information, surveillance, investigation, prevention, and control of nosocomial infections.
• CelDial Hospital Infection Control Manual This infection control manual contains the important guidelines necessary for an interdisciplinary healthcare team to prevent the spread of infections in a clinical setting.
• Emerging Infectious Diseases The goals of Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) are to promote the recognition of new and reemerging infectious diseases and to improve the understanding of factors involved in disease emergence, prevention, and elimination.
• Infectious Disease Newsletter This newsletter is compiled to create an electronically published summary of research articles relevant to those professionals who are concerned with the epidemiology and treatment protocols for infectious disease.
• JNN: Germ invasion and risk analysis This article outlines the problems of hospital acquired infection and the need to focus on basic infection control procedures in order to produce better cost effective outcomes of care in neonates.
• NCID: New, Reemerging, and Drug Resistant Infections In recent years, new or increasing drug resistance has been recognized in organisms that cause malaria, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, pneumococcal and staphylococcal disease, and shigellosis.
