Key Words Hepatitis B virus infection; Hepatitis C virus infection; Needle-stick injury; Healthcare workers
Core Tip Preventing the transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus infection from source patients to healthcare workers is of vital importance in all healthcare settings worldwide, since these workers are exposed daily to these infections over a period of almost four decades. Needle pricks with contaminated needles, cuts from sharp instruments and blood splashes to the conjunctiva are the most frequent causes of exposure, injuries largely preventable by taking the standard universal precautions. HBV vaccination of anti-HBs-negative healthcare workers is recommended in all countries, but numerous healthcare workers remain exposed to infection because they have eluded HBV vaccination.
