This paper is a critical review of the infection control guidelines on the Management and Control of Viral Haemorrhagic Fevers issued in 1997 by the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens. It is suggested that these guidelines are not realistic. An alternative set of more workable guidelines, possibly approved by one of the microbiological associations or one of the regional microbiology groups, should be the way forward.
