Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at risk of occupationally acquired hepatitis C. In the UK, 17 HCWs were diagnosed with occupationally acquired acute hepatitis C between 2002 and 2011. All 17 cases involved percutaneous injuries from hollowbore needles, 16 known to be contaminated with blood. Of these 17 HCWs, 15 received antiviral therapy and 14 are known to have achieved viral clearance. Treatment success was irrespective of genotype. The successful treatment of HCWs emphasizes the need for UK guidelines on the management of occupationally acquired acute hepatitis C.
医护人员（HCWs）面临职业性感染丙型肝炎的风险。在英国，2002 年至 2011 年间有 17 名 HCWs 被诊断为职业性获得性急性丙型肝炎。所有 17 例均涉及空心针的经皮损伤，其中 16 例已知被血液污染。在这 17 名 HCWs 中，有 15 名接受了抗病毒治疗，已知有 14 名实现了病毒清除。治疗成功率与基因型无关。HCWs 的成功治疗强调了英国职业性获得性急性丙型肝炎管理指南的必要性。
