Introduction The Communicable Diseases Reference Table (Appendix A) summarizes information about transmission characteristics of most infectious diseases. Policy 1. The precautions recommended in the reference tables will be adhered to. Purpose 1. To prevent transmission of infection. Procedure 1. Some of the precautions are based on clinical presentations when the microorganism is not known. These should be used initially, while awaiting more precise diagnosis. 2. The remaining precautions are recommended for infections due to identified microorganisms. 3. With very few exceptions, this reference table is appropriate for all health-care facilities.
