Harmful effects of Cidex and recommended alternatives.
Infect Dis J Jan ;15(1):27-9.

In a tertiary care university teaching hospital, Karachi, Pakistan, Cidex (glutaraldehyde) with a 2% concentration is the most commonly used disinfectant. On assessment of Cidex practice, it was observed that the hospital employees were acquiring adverse reactions due to Cidex usage; therefore, it was an important concern for Infection Control nurses (ICN) to explore the magnitude of the problems faced by Cidex usage and thus, planned to conduct a quality improvement project in this regard. This is a review article.
