Abstract
SUMMARY: More organisms were found on the paralysed hands of hemiplegic patients than on their unaffected ones. However, both showed considerably higher bacterial counts than did geriatric patients without paralysis. An infection rate for Cl. welchi of 15% was found in the paralysed hands.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
