Hospital-associated infections have led to a significant increment of morbidity and mortality among patients. As a result, the public health had concentrated on preventing the transmission of infection using environmental controls. UV-C radiation or ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) had caught interest for decades as it can potentially degrade many kinds of microorganisms. This review aims to highlight the current information regarding the ability of UV-C radiation in terms of disinfection and focuses on its application and safety in the medical field.
医院相关感染导致患者发病率和死亡率显著增加。因此，公共卫生部门一直致力于通过环境控制来预防感染的传播。几十年来，紫外线辐射或紫外线杀菌（UVGI）因其可能降解多种微生物而引起了人们的兴趣。本综述旨在强调有关紫外线辐射在消毒方面的能力的最新信息，并重点介绍其在医疗领域的应用和安全性。
