The present study was initiated to assess the risk of infection of medical personnel and family contacts of hemodialysis patients. It confirms previous reports that hemodialysis patients and staff members of hemodialysis units are at high risk of acquiring HBV infection. Approximately 25% of the household contacts had serological signs of past or ongoing HBV infections. The risk of infection of the family contact was independent of the mode of dialysis but increased if the contact was a spouse, assisted in dialysis, or if the index hemodialysis patient was HBsAg positive. There is an urgent need for active immunization to prevent spread of HBV related to hemodialysis.
本研究旨在评估血液透析患者的医护人员及家属感染的风险。该研究证实了先前的报道，即血液透析患者及透析单位工作人员感染乙肝病毒（HBV）的风险很高。约25%的家庭接触者有既往或正在感染HBV的血清学迹象。家庭接触者的感染风险与透析方式无关，但如果接触者是配偶、协助透析者，或者首例血液透析患者HBsAg呈阳性，则感染风险会增加。迫切需要进行主动免疫以预防与血液透析相关的HBV传播。
