What Are the Challenges in Infection Control in Toxicology?
There are several challenges specific to infection control in toxicology:
Complexity of Cases: Patients may present with a combination of toxicological and infectious conditions, complicating diagnosis and treatment. Resistance to Antibiotics: Infections may involve multidrug-resistant organisms, requiring advanced infection control measures. Environmental Contamination: Toxic substances can contaminate the healthcare environment, posing a risk to both patients and staff. Resource Limitations: Limited access to PPE and other infection control resources can hinder effective prevention and management.
