In Romania and other countries, therapeutic injections have been associated with transmission of hepatitis B and C viruses, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), and other bloodborne pathogens. During 1997-1998, acute hepatitis B was associated with recent injections in Romanian children aged <5 years. Injection-associated bloodborne pathogen transmission occurs when infection-control practices are inadequate, and overuse of injections to administer medications might increase opportunities for transmission. To estimate the frequency of therapeutic injections and to describe the attitudes and practices of adults about injections to administer medications, local health departments in Romania surveyed the general population of four districts (Hunedoara, Iasi, Mures, and Prahova [1997 combined population: 2.8 million]) in June 1998. This report summarizes results from these surveys, which indicate that injections are used frequently to administer medications in Romania.
在罗马尼亚及其他国家，治疗性注射已与乙型和丙型肝炎病毒、1型人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV-1）及其他血源性病原体的传播相关联。在1997 - 1998年期间，急性乙型肝炎与罗马尼亚5岁以下儿童近期接受的注射有关。当感染控制措施不充分时，就会发生与注射相关的血源性病原体传播，而过度使用注射方式给药可能会增加传播机会。为了估计治疗性注射的频率，并描述成年人对注射给药的态度和做法，罗马尼亚地方卫生部门于1998年6月对四个地区（胡内多阿拉、雅西、穆列什和普拉霍瓦[1997年总人口：280万]）的普通人群进行了调查。本报告总结了这些调查结果，结果表明在罗马尼亚，注射是常用的给药方式。
