Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Nosocomial transmission is the second most frequent cause of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. A prospective observational study was conducted to assess the roles of environmental contamination and noncompliance with standard precautions in HCV cross-transmission in a hemodialysis unit. METHODS: Patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis in a French university hospital unit were systematically...
