結論などの一部引用
The prevalence of nosocomial infections in Thailand was 11.7% in 1988, it diminished to 7.4% in 1992, to 6.4% in 2001 and slightly increased to 6.5% in 2006.
However, staff shortage and high workload are the main problems in tackling nosocomial infections in Thailand.
However, implementation of recommended infection control methods, such as proper hand washing and thorough cleaning of equipment, can quickly control an epidemic outbreak as demonstrated in this case and other similar cases [*,*]. The insufficient budget allocation for infection control is however a major problem in Thai medical system.
