title: [The role of health care workers in nosocomial infection transmission].
abstract: The role of health care workers in nosocomial infection transmission has been documented and the importance of hand washing in preventing such transmission has been understood. There is a little evidence in the role of other method rather than hand washing in preventing nosocomial infection. It is quite important to keep high level of compliance of the hand washing in preventing nosocomial infection. We should challenge to keep it high with various methods or strategies.
