CARs were infrequent among exposed health care workers (HCWs) (13/2,750; 0.47%; 1 CAR per 72 years of HCW exposure) and were not influenced by the duration or intensity of ABHR use but were associated with the presence of irritant contact dermatitis. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/9998 | DOI: | 10.1128/AAC.49.10.4404-4405.2005 | ORCID: | Journal: | Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16189134 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Anti-Infective Agents, Local.adverse effects Ethanol.adverse effects Hand.microbiology Hand Disinfection.methods.standards Hospitals, Teaching Humans Hygiene Personnel, Hospital Skin.microbiology Solutions.chemistry Time Factors |
