| Infection of short duration that is often severe. | Acute Infection |
| Extreme hypersensitivity to a substance that can lead to shock and life-threatening respiratory collapse. | Anaphylaxis |
| Immunity that results from a vaccination. | Artificially Acquired Immunity |
| Disease that is caused by microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria that are carried in blood. | Blood-Borne Disease |
| Disease-causing organisms transferred through contact with blood or other body fluids. | Blood-Borne Pathogens |
| Conditions that all must be present for infection to occur. | Chain of Infection |
| Term for an infection of long duration. | Chronic Infection |
| Condition caused by an infection that can be spread from person to person or though contact with body fluids. | Communicable Disease |
| Term for items such as gloves and patient napkins that may contain potentially infectious body fluids of patients. | Contaminated Waste |
| Term for touching or contact with a patient's blood or saliva; ex route of transmission of diseases such as Hepatitis, herpes, HIV and TB. | Direct Contact |
| Infection that occurs through mucosal surfaces of the eyes, nose or mouth; aka Airborne transmission; ex include cough or sneeze. | Droplet Infection |
| Waste that poses a danger to humans or to the environment; ex include scrap amalgam and spent fixer solution. | Hazardous Waste |
| Term for the ability of the body to resist disease. | Immunity |
| Touching or contact with a contaminated surface or instrument. | Indirect Contact |
| Term for the policies and practices designed to prevent the spread of infectious agents. | Infection Control |
| The ultimate goal of all infection control procedures and policies. | Infection Prevention |
| Term for the waste that is capable of transmitting an infectious disease; aka Regulated Waste or Biohazardous Waste; ex dripping blood-soak gauze, soft tissue, extracted teeth, sharps. | Infectious Waste |
| Disease that is communicable. | Infectious Disease |
| Immunity that is present at birth. | Inherited Immunity |
| Persistent infection with recurrent symptoms that "come and go". | Latent Infection |
| Immunity that occurs when a person has contracted and is recovering from a disease. | Naturally Acquired Immunity |
| Any reasonably anticipated skin, eye, or mucous membrane contact or percutaneous injury involving blood or any other potentially infectious material; defined by BBP. | Occupational Exposure |
| The guidelines designed to protect employees against occupational exposure to BBP. | OSHA BBP Standard |
| Term for a disease-causing organism. | Pathogen |
| Term meaning through the skin, such as with a needle stick, cut, or human bite. | Percutaneous |

| Term for pointed or cutting instruments, including needles, scalpel blades, ortho wires, endo instruments and burs. | Sharps |
| Name of the standard of care designed to protect healthcare providers from pathogens that can be spread by blood or body fluids, expands on concept of Universal Precautions. | Standard Precautions |
| Guidelines based on treating all human blood and body fluids (including saliva) as potientially infectious. | Universal Precautions |
| The strength of a pathogens ability to cause disease; aka pathogenicity. | Virulence |
