title: Infection control.
abstract: "Universal precautions" and "strict infection control procedures" have become health-care facility as well as household terms. However, not much time has been given to explaining the specifics of exactly what they are or how and when they should be applied. The purpose, therefore, of this article is to review these specifics for practicing physicians, regardless of their specialty.
