title: [Laboratory system for networks in infection control].
abstract: The goals of a surveillance for nosocomial infections are to observe the magnitude and characteristics of the infections, and to plan and evaluate policies and guidelines of infection control. In clinical laboratory, although it is most important to detect their causative pathogens, further to provide the surveillance study as a multicenter. Actually, we have just started an infection control room in our hospital. Thus this room may present various informations about infection and contribute to the networks with the area community.
