To determine whether anaesthetists are at risk from developing hepatitis-B virus (HBV) infection from their patients, 95 anaesthetists working with black South Africans (who have a high prevalence of hepatitis-B antigenaemia) were questioned about attacks of viral hepatitis and their blood was tested for hepatitis-B (surface) antigen (HBsAg) and antibody (Anti-HBs). Anti-HBs was detected in the serum of 17.9% of the anaesthetists, but none was a chronic carrier of HBsAg. Two anaesthetists had suffered from acute viral hepatitis during their careers, one of whom is now positive for Anti-HBs. Forty-five of the anaesthetists (47.4%) were known to have anaesthetized patients with HBs antigenaemia, and of these seven were Anti-HBs-positive. Anaesthetists working with a population having a high carrier rate of HBV appear to be more at risk from HBV infection than the general population.
为了确定麻醉师是否有因患者感染乙肝病毒（HBV）而被感染的风险，对95名与南非黑人（乙肝表面抗原血症患病率高）一起工作的麻醉师进行了询问，了解他们患病毒性肝炎的情况，并检测了他们血液中的乙肝（表面）抗原（HBsAg）和抗体（抗-HBs）。17.9%的麻醉师血清中检测到抗-HBs，但没有人是HBsAg的慢性携带者。两名麻醉师在职业生涯中患过急性病毒性肝炎，其中一人现在抗-HBs呈阳性。已知45名麻醉师（47.4%）曾为乙肝表面抗原血症患者实施麻醉，其中7人抗-HBs呈阳性。与乙肝病毒携带率高的人群一起工作的麻醉师似乎比普通人群更容易感染乙肝病毒。
