In modern use, toilet paper would seem to play an important role as a barrier to the transmission of enteric infection by the fecal-manual-oral route. A historical review reveals a dearth of information on this topic. The remarkable compliance with the hygienic practice of toilet paper use is in contrast to the more limited compliance with hand-washing policies touted universally as a sound infection-control measure.
在现代使用中，卫生纸似乎作为一种屏障，在通过粪便-手-口途径传播肠道感染方面发挥着重要作用。一项历史回顾显示，关于这个主题的信息匮乏。对卫生纸使用卫生习惯的显著依从性，与普遍推崇的作为一项合理感染控制措施的洗手政策的较低依从性形成了对比。
