We know that doctors and other health-care workers are meticulous about washing their hands. What
about their clothes? A recent New York Times article highlighted growing concerns in the US about the role
that doctors’ garments play in the spread of bacteria.

According to the newspaper, the discussion was repeated this year in the US when the British National
Health Service imposed ‘bare below the elbows’ rule. It does not allow doctors to wear ties and long sleeves,
both of which are known to accumulate germs as doctors move from patient to patient. The article reported a
study from the New York Hospital Medical Centre of Queens that compared the ties of 40 doctors and
medical students with those of 10 security guards. It found that about half the ties worn by medical personnel
were a reservoir for germs, compared with just one in 10 of the ties taken from security guards.

When asked about the subject of doctors’ clothes and their possible role in the spread of infections, most
local doctors, and some hospitals, declined to comment. Associate Professor Dale Fisher, the Chairman of
infection control said that ties and other pieces of clothes are sometimes referred to as reservoirs for micro
organism that may cause nosocomial infection (infection caught while staying in a hospital) but he added that
the risk of infections from contaminated clothes needed to be put in perspective.
