2011, International Journal of Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Of the total hospital infections, 27 had the mucocutaneous mode of infection (eight of these were caused by parvovirus B19 and seven by HIV, of which five also had percutaneous mode of infection involvement). This mode of infection was also possibly involved in 19 reported HCV accidental infection cases.54 Seventeen of the 27 cases were caused by blood-borne viruses – a total 11% of the accidental infections caused by these viruses in hospitals.
Health Care-Associated Transmission of Hepatitis B & C Viruses in Dental Care (Dentistry)
2010, Clinics in Liver DiseaseCitation Excerpt :Transmission rarely occurs from mucous membrane exposures to blood, and no transmission has been documented from intact or nonintact skin exposures to blood.83,84 Although it has been shown that HCV can survive on environmental surfaces for a few hours,54 epidemiologic data do not support a significant risk for HCV transmission in the health care setting through environmental contamination with blood.43,85 The risk for transmission from exposure to fluids or tissues other than HCV-infected blood also has not been quantified but is expected to be low.
