Isi artikel

The risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection for health-care workers (HCWs) is well documented. Fortunately, effective pre- and postexposure prophylaxis in the form of hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin are available for the prevention of occupational HBV infection. Although the occupational risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is less well defined, it appears to be lower than the risk of HBV infection. Nevertheless, the long-term consequence of HCV infection can be serious. Effective pre- and postexposure treatments against HCV infection are needed.
