Nowadays, information on clinical laboratory tests for infectious disease is almost supported by information on such as clinical, identical and susceptible microbiological tests. However, information support necessary for clinical diagnosis and therapy with clinically valuable data remains unsatisfactory. To offer more useful microbiological information to support clinics from clinical laboratory division, exchange of clinical information between clinical divisions, integrated systems of clinical information in the district and establishment of domestic and international information network et al are required. Establishment of these advanced total information network systems for clinical microbiological tests for infectious diseases may exceedingly contribute to earlier diagnosis, control and prevention of various infectious diseases.
