MODERN METHODS OF PROTECTION OF HEALTHCARE PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN HANDLING OF PATHOGENIC BIOLOGICAL AGENTS ATTRIBUTED TO PATHOGENICITY GROUPS I-IV: PROTECTION FROM EXTREMELY DANGEROUS INFECTIONS

The  present review addresses currently available information about securing the  biological  safety of healthcare personnel exposed to pathogenic microorganisms attributed  to pathogenicity groups I–IV.  The relevant measures constitute the  most  important aspect of organizing the  activities of medico-prophylactic institutions. Adequate staging of preventive measures provides for  uninterrupted operation of not  only specific  wards of  a  medical institution but  the  entire institution as  well.  Careful adherence to  simple rules is a prerequisite of appropriate workability of a medical unit.  The  topicality of this  agenda is currently on the  rise  because of the  danger of biological  terrorism.
