Various methods have been employed to reduce hepatitis B infections among patients and staff at high risk. Routine screening tests of all blood donors for hepatitis B surface antigen has reduced post-transfusion hepatitis B. After a control and prevention programme was instituted hepatitis B cross-infection was eliminated from haemodialysis units in Britain. Prophylaxis with specific immunoglobulin reduced attack rates of clinical hepatitis B, after accidental inoculation with infective material, to about 2%. Endemic hepatitis B in hospitals for the mentally subnormal remains a problem.
已采用多种方法来减少高危患者和工作人员中的乙型肝炎感染。对所有献血者进行乙型肝炎表面抗原的常规筛查检测减少了输血后乙型肝炎的发生。在实施了一项控制和预防计划后,英国的血液透析单位消除了乙型肝炎交叉感染。在意外接种感染性物质后,使用特异性免疫球蛋白进行预防可将临床乙型肝炎的发病率降至约2%。智障者医院中的地方性乙型肝炎仍然是一个问题。
