AB Occupational  infections  are  human  diseases  caused  by  work-associated  exposure  to  microbial  agents,  including  bacteria,  viruses,  fungi,  and  parasites.  Occupational  infection  can  occur  following  contact  with  infected  persons  or  surfaces,  as  in  the  case  of  health  care  workers;  with  infected  animal  or  human  tissue,  secretions,  or  excretions,  as  with  laboratory  workers;  with  asymptomatic  or  unknown  contagious  humans,  as  happens  during  business  travel;  or  with  infected  animals,  as  in  agriculture.  See  Table  16–1  for  work-related  pathogens  by  specific  job  title.
