We’ve all seen the statistics — each year in the U.S., 2 million people will get an antibiotic-resistant infection and at least 23,000 will die as a result of them. Moreover, multidrug-resistant organisms represent an increasing threat to global health as it’s estimated that their mortality rates will exceed those of cancer by 2050. It’s easy to see such data and focus on how to cut down the rates or how to increase antimicrobial stewardship without thinking about the perceptions or emotional impact of these infections.

Zika virus made headlines a few years ago during an outbreak in Brazil and other countries in the Americas that resulted in a large number of babies being born with microcephaly and other birth defects.

Indeed, a milliliter of blood can contain between 105 to, rarely, 1,014 HIV particles, a viral load that may exceed the number of trees on earth Worldwide, occupational sharps exposure seems to be responsible for about 40% of HBV and HCV infections and 2.5% of HIV infections among healthcare professionals.
