Patient-to-patient transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) during colonoscopy diagnosis

8 Sept 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: No recognized risk factors can be identified in 10-40% of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients suggesting that the modes of transmission involved could be underestimated or unidentified. Invasive diagnostic procedures, such as endoscopy, have been considered as a potential HCV transmission route; although the actual extent of transmission in endoscopy procedures remains controversial. Most...
