Commercial reference removed

edit

I revised the section entitled "Surveillance for emerging infections" to eliminate a reference to a commercial product that is neither unique nor a standard within the field. Benjaloo 01:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Prevention of Surgical Site infection

edit

Hello THis is DR SB Kulkarni. Am an microbiologist and have worked in infection control especialy regarding prevention of Surgical Site infections. There is no mention of the topic on this page. Is there anyone out there who would like to share their experiences in infection control with me? Dr Sanjay Kulkarni

Topic Category suggestion

edit

I have an interest in expanding the healthcare infection prevention and control sections of wikipedia. I would suggest that Infection Control-related pages be re-categorised as 'Healthcare infection prevention and control". Not as a sub-category under Epidemiology. Any thoughts from others? 58.105.146.22 (talk) 04:08, 25 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think it would be good to mention that surfaces should be disinfected because harmful bacteria can stay on surfaces even days after contact, increasing the chances of spreading the bacteria through person to person contact.

More CFR Part section for this topic ???

edit

Have not got much time to screen all the 29 CFR Part 1910 for the topic, apart from 29 CFR Part 1910.1030. If there are more sections which covers this topic, please add them in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.228.190.54 (talk) 03:37, 11 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

propose merge from Cross-infection control

edit
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result was merge into Infection control.

The new page (Cross-infection control) is essentially a synonym, and is not a term in wide use. The content there is minimal, and lacks reliable sources. I was tempted to suggest speedy deletion, but merge seemed worth proposing. -- Scray (talk) 22:55, 1 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Agree: I am the author of the stub above, I didnt spot the extensive infection control article in existence already! I suggest a merge and redirect Cross-infection control to this article. Ashley Payne (talk) 22:36, 3 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Merge complete, hope I included all the key content. In the process I created some new content for Infection control, but it still needs a lot of fleshing out. -- Scray (talk) 02:37, 5 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Disputed Section on Post-Exposure Prophylaxis

edit

It appears that this section has existed without references for quite some time. (with the citations needed tag being added in 2014) I would therefore formally Dispute the validity of the claim due to the fact that it appears that the body of evidence actually seems to suggest against it if anything, and will remove it within the next week, if proper references are not cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.91.178.54 (talk) 01:56, 7 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

I would agree with immediate removal of the content. USN007 (talk) 01:59, 7 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Note that 71.91.178.54 is USN007. Luckily BD2412 is also stating an opinion for consensus rather than just just socks agreeing with themself. DMacks (talk) 00:49, 25 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

I believe that the vaccination section should be expanded on. Statistics or a table displaying statistics for the effectiveness of the vaccinations would benefit the section and article overall. Using stats would allow for the reader to better understand how the use of such prevention can work User:nkremer1 (User talk:nkremer1) 1:42, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
