Abstract

urrent recommendations to discontinue routine pre-injection skin preparation may jeopardise patient safety and increase the risk of infection. However, the best available evidence and theoretical rationale may offer sufficient support for recommendations to abandon this practice. Both sides of this argument are explored in this `point-counterpoint' review.
