Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major health burden worldwide. A patient with no history of HCV infection while on a renal unit was found to seroconvert to HCV. AIM: To report the use of sequencing to postulate how transmission of HCV occurred in a healthcare setting, and how this guided our outbreak investigation. FINDINGS: Based on infection control inspections the transmission event was...
