Transmission of infection by gastrointestional endoscopy
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy(2001)
Abstract
Although endoscopes have potential sites for microorganism accumulation, transmission of infection is extremely rare. Since 1988, the estimated rate of transmitted infection is 1 in 1.8 million procedures; all of these cases can be attributed to improper cleaning and disinfection. Adherence to current guidelines for the cleaning and disinfection of endoscopes and their accessories is essential.
