  • Title: Infectious occupational exposures in dermatology--a review of risks and prevention measures. I. For all dermatologists.
    Author: Nori S, Greene MA, Schrager HM, Falanga V.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2005 Dec; 53(6):1010-9. PubMed ID: 16310062.
    Abstract:
    Dermatologists are at risk for exposure to infectious agents from a variety of sources throughout their workday. We review occupational infectious risks from percutaneous exposures, aerosolized infectious particles (eg, with laser surgery and dermabrasion), instrumentation, and cryotherapy. We also discuss current guidelines for management and postexposure prophylaxis of the more common occupational exposures, and conclude with an overview of means to minimize them.
