Healthcare-related transmission of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a well-recognized hazard. We report a multicentre retrospective cross-sectional study undertaken in Turkey in 2014 in nine hospitals, regional reference centres for CCHF, covering the years 2002 to 2014 inclusive. Data were systematically extracted from charts of all personnel with a reported health care injury/accide...
The objective of this paper is to advise on the development of practical policies for needlestick injuries in general dental practice. Policies for dealing with occupational exposure to chronic blood borne viruses, namely, hepatitis B, C and HIV are evolving. This article was particularly prompted by recent changes in post exposure prophylaxis for HIV infection. A flow chart is also included wh...
Sir—Garcia et al. [1] describe a health care worker who developed a case of acute infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) with a very rapid onset (within 9 days) following a needlestick injury. A similar case, with a similarly short incubation period of 2 weeks, was reported by Morand et al. [2] in 2001. In both cases, HCV RNA testing was performed after the onset of symptoms at week 2 and produ...
After performing procedures involving sharps, many wards in St George's Hospital have no quick and accessible 'point of care' sharps bin for their safe disposal. Instead one must transport potentially hazardous equipment away from the bedside, risking injury and exposure to persons en route. Results from a questionnaire showed that 73% felt they were indeed poorly placed, 95% felt a portable sh...
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of needlestick injury (NSI) among interns and medical students as well as their knowledge of, attitude towards and their protective strategies against exposure to bloodborne pathogens. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 272 participants using a self-administered questionnaire. Just over 40% of the participants had experienced at lea...
BACKGROUND Little is known about the transmission of variant hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome through needlestick injuries. METHODS To demonstrate how HCV quasi species are transmitted and adapt to the new host in acute resolving infection, we analyzed the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the hypervariable region 1 (HVR-1) in the E2 domain of HCV in both the source of the virus ("...
