A prospective study of incident hepatitis C in 515 gastroenterology patients was conducted by follow-up sampling at 3-6 months after admission to the gastroenterology unit to test for antibodies to hepatitis C virus and for hepatitis C virus RNA. Universal precautions were implemented, and the use of multidose vials had been banned in this unit. Despite 5,964 exposure-days for several risk factors associated with nosocomial hepatitis C virus transmission, no incident case of hepatitis C occurred.
对515名胃肠病患者的丙型肝炎发病情况进行了一项前瞻性研究,在他们入住胃肠病科3至6个月后进行随访抽样,检测丙型肝炎病毒抗体和丙型肝炎病毒RNA。该科室实施了普遍预防措施,并已禁止使用多剂量瓶。尽管存在与医院内丙型肝炎病毒传播相关的几种危险因素,累计暴露天数达5964天,但未发生丙型肝炎发病病例。
