Abstract

Medical workers should have anti-HBV antibody to protect HBV infection in the hospital. If they have not anti-HBV antibody, they should receive HBV vaccination. HBV vaccination program is as follows: 10 micrograms, s.c., 0, 1, 6 months. In case of HBV contamination, 1,000 IU hepatitis B immune globulin(HBIG) and/or 10 micrograms HB vaccine should be administered judging from HBV markers of contaminated subjects and HBV load of patients. The HCV vaccine is not available. In case of HCV contamination, it is unnecessary to treat just after accident. If acute hepatitis C is evolved in those subjects during follow-up, it is recommended to treat with interferon. Eradication of HCV by interferon among patients with acute hepatitis C will be almost 100%.
