Hepatitis B and hepatitis C may be transmitted form patients to health care workers and from health care workers to patients. To reduce the risk, all obstetrician-gynecologists who provide clinical care should receive hepatitis B virus vaccine. Obstetrician-gynecologists who are hepatitis B surface antigen positive and e antigen positive should not perform exposure prone procedures until they have sought counsel from an expert review panel. Because the risk of hepatitis C virus transmission is lower than that of hepatitis B virus transmission, routine testing of health care workers is not recommended, and hepatitis C virus-positive health care workers are not required to restrict professional activities.
乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎可在患者与医护人员之间传播，也可在医护人员与患者之间传播。为降低风险，所有提供临床护理的妇产科医生都应接种乙肝病毒疫苗。乙肝表面抗原和e抗原均呈阳性的妇产科医生，在咨询专家评审小组之前，不应进行易发生暴露的操作。由于丙型肝炎病毒传播的风险低于乙型肝炎病毒传播的风险，因此不建议对医护人员进行常规检测，丙型肝炎病毒呈阳性的医护人员也无需限制职业活动。
