Retrospective analysis showed that 67 children had presented in Edinburgh with needlestick injuries on 70 occasions over five years. Worryingly, 10 children sustained injuries pretending to be intravenous drug abusers. Despite risks of hepatitis B and HIV infection, protection and follow up were inadequate. Publicity about discarded needles and a treatment plan for use in accident and emergency departments are recommended.
回顾性分析显示，在五年时间里，有67名儿童在爱丁堡出现过针刺伤，共发生70起。令人担忧的是，有10名儿童假装静脉注射吸毒者而受伤。尽管存在感染乙肝和艾滋病毒的风险，但防护和后续跟进措施却不完善。建议针对废弃针头展开宣传，并制定在急诊科使用的治疗方案。
