Sustaining a needlestick injury resulted in nurse Dianne Wright contracting hepatitis C infection in 2003. Despite 24 weeks of gruelling treatment, she continued to work. A blood test taken at six weeks after the injury confirmed hepatitis C. Treatment with ribavirin and interferon lasted 24 weeks. Hepatitis C virus was undetectable half way through treatment. Viral clearing was confirmed at the end of treatment and six and 12 months later.
