background: the risk for transmission of blood-borne viruses (bbvs) such as human immunodeficiency virus (hiv), hepatitis b virus (hbv) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) due to occupational exposure is a major concern in the health care setting. m aterials and methods: this study among 337 health care workers (hcws) accidentally exposed to bbvs was carried out from january 2009 to march 2015. the dat...

Background: Thalassemia syndromes are the most common genetic disorders in the world. They happen due to genetic defects in process of haemoglobin synthesis, and would be classified to many groups mainly α and β, based on the kind of defect. Anemia is the main clinical manifestation of this phenotype of disorder. In order to correct the chronic anemia in thalassaemic individuals, they may need ...

This paper discusses extracorporeal removal of viral particles and their antigens from the blood as an auxiliary therapy. This hypothesis has not been reported before. In some chronic blood-borne viral infections, the virus remains systemic and persistent for extended periods of time, with adverse effects that weaken the immune system. Blood titers of virus and its toxins are proportional to th...

Blood borne infectious diseases are usually a public concern. The transmissions of many diseases are via blood borne mode. Several activities are related to this transmission such as injection, blood transfusion and transplantation. Also, the acupuncture practice can be a possible route for blood borne infectious disease transmission. In this specific review, the author briefly reviews acupunct...

conclusions the diagnostics and management of infections with hepatotropic viruses, particularly hbv, are neglected in hemophilic patients. all patients with coagulation disorders and a history of exposure to non-inactivated blood products should be screened for blood-borne infections. the prevalence of other potentially blood-borne viral infections exhibited a pattern similar to that observed ...
