This book is written for clinicians, undergraduates and postgraduates, as an aid to understand infection control. My purpose in producing this textbook is to present my experience in infection control. The disciplines of clinical practice and infection control have been brought together to provide an understanding of clinical problems. It deals primarily with those clinical problems that would traditionally come under the surgical and medical umbrella.The format is fresh and stimulating with ample opportunity for readers to test their knowledge. This book will act as a core text for undergraduates approaching practice, it will also be useful for students at any level to expand their knowledge in infection control field. Postgraduates approaching professional examinations such as boards should find the book particularly appropriate.
