The fifth edition of this classic text is the definitive,                   clinically oriented guide to this critical area within                   healthcare practice, full of sound, practical advice for all                   those involved in the control of infection in a variety of                 settings. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout, it has                   been retitled for this new edition to emphasize the range of                   coverage, from the hopsital setting--including the ward,                   operating theaters, kitchens, and laundry facilities-- to                   health care provision in the community.                  The content has also been restructured, improving access to                   related topics for the reader. Part One discusses the basic                   principles of infection control, including administrative                   issues, surveillance and reporting, sterilization,                 disinfection, and decontamination, with an emphasis on the                   key area of hand hygiene. Part Two covers the specific areas                   of prophylazis and treatment of infections, for example, the                   use of antimicrobial agents and issues pertaining to                 specific infections including MRSA. In Part Three prevention                   in different healthcare settings is presented, including                   issues particular to special wards and departments, such as                   paediatric and neonatal units, intensive care, the elderly,                 and those being treated or working within allied health                   areas, such as x-ray, physiotherapy, and the laboratory                   setting.                  Control of Healthcare-Associated Infection will remain                   essential reading for infection control practitioners,                   nurses, doctors, surgeons, allied health professionals,                   hospital managers and administrators, and public health                 personnel.
