High Risk HPV Contamination of Endocavity Vaginal Ultrasound Probes: An Underestimated Route of Nosocomial Infection?
BACKGROUND Endocavity ultrasound is seen as a harmless procedure and has become a common gynaecological procedure. However without correct disinfection, it may result in nosocomial transmission of genito-urinary pathogens, such as high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HR-HPV). We aimed to evaluate the currently recommended disinfection procedure for covered endocavity ultrasound probes, which consist...
متن کاملMicrobial contamination of ultrasound biomicroscopy probes: evaluation of cross-infection risk.
Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is being used increasingly in cataract and refractive surgery to evaluate phacomorphic lenses, dislocated intraocular lenses, misplaced haptics, sulcus-to-sulcus measurements for implantable Collamer lenses (ICLs), ciliary body cysts before ICL implantation, retained lens fragments, and anterior effusions. In a previous report, biometry apparatus grew pathogenic f...
متن کاملPrevalent high-risk HPV infection and vaginal microbiota in Nigerian women
In this study, we evaluated the association between high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) and the vaginal microbiome. Participants were recruited in Nigeria between April and August 2012. Vaginal bacterial composition was characterized by deep sequencing of barcoded 16S rRNA gene fragments (V4) on Illumina MiSeq and HPV was identified using the Roche Linear Array® HPV genotyping test. We used ...
متن کاملRole of ultrasound probes in transmission of hospital infections
Background: The ultrasonography probes are cleaned by absorbent soft, dry cloth. This question arose whether linear and convex ultrasound probes coupling with gel could perform as a means for nosocomial infections transmission, and which method is economical and more efficient for cleaning the probes. This study was conducted to answer these questions. Methods: One hundred – ninety two patients...
