5. Conclusion
1- Even if the increased number of bacteria and fungi colonies during the time of autopsy
is not found significant, it is obviously seen that it represents serious risk for the people with
immunsuppresive or the people having an open scar.
2- We consider that the design of an autopsy room like ventilation-air supply,, disinfection
of storage of contaminated, hepa filtration systems, biosafety cabines for tissues, structuring the
autopsy table drainage, domwdraft tables in accordance with internationally approved guides and
protocols should be appropriately required. Moreover, the air flow ways and working areas should
be designed in the way that they can separate the contaminated and uncontaminated areas from each
other and these areas are required to be marked clearly, so that the staff members should certainly obey the inter-area passage rules, and that risk assessment should be done prior to all autopsy sessions.
3- As it is also mentioned in the literature, using only safety equipments is not enough for
protection from infections during autopsy; additionally we think that forensic medicine specialists,
pathologists, autopsy technicians and laboratory staff are required to be trained on this issue.
