Facteurs de risque de transmission accidentelle du VHC au personnel soignant au décours d'un accident exposant au sang : une étude cas-témoins européenne

The risk of HCV transmission after percutaneous exposure increases with a larger volume of blood, and, a higher titer of HCV in the source patient's blood. The role of HCW's gender need to be further investigated. The results of this study have important implications for counselling and follow-up of HCWs after exposure.
