2023年5月1日 · Accidental exposures to bodily fluids present a wide variety of issues to healthcare workers. These issues include transmission of communicable diseases such as human immune deficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Occupational exposures to blood and body fluids in healthcare settings have the potential to transmit HBV, HCV, or HIV. Use of the Blood/Body Fluid Exposure Option permits a healthcare facility to record information about the exposure and its management.

2024年4月23日 · Risks of exposure to blood and other body fluids. It is vital for healthcare workers to know how to protect patients and themselves. Bloodborne pathogens include the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV).

A blood-borne disease is a disease that can be spread through contamination by blood and other body fluids. Blood can contain pathogens of various types, chief among which are microorganisms, like bacteria and parasites, and non-living infectious agents such as viruses.

Exposure to blood and body fluids or substances. The following body fluids pose a risk for bloodborne virus transmission: blood, serum, plasma and all biological fluids visibly contaminated with blood ; laboratory specimens that contain concentrated virus ; pleural, amniotic, pericardial, peritoneal, synovial and cerebrospinal fluids

2016年12月22日 · What is a Blood-Borne Disease? A blood-borne disease is one that spreads mainly through contamination of blood and other body fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions, amniotic...

2019年7月27日 · What is body-fluid transmission? We know that hepatitis B virus (HBV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) can live in children’s blood, urine, and/or saliva. All of them can be transmitted by blood—blood from an infected individual entering the bloodstream of another.

Bloodborne pathogen - Any pathogen that can be transmitted from one person to another via blood or other body fluids. Likelihood of transmission is dependent on the pathogen, the type of body fluid and the nature of the exposure. Percutaneous: Puncture of skin by needlestick or another sharp object. Permucosal: Contact with mucous membranes.

Bloodborne pathogens are bacteria and viruses present in blood and body fluids that can cause disease in humans. You should be familiar with bloodborne pathogens that cause serious diseases. These include: Hepatitis B – A liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus, which may be severe or even fatal.

Hospital staff and all other human or veterinary health care workers, including laboratory, research, emergency service, or cleaning personnel are exposed to the risk of occupational infection following accidental exposure to blood or body fluids (BBF) contaminated with a virus, a bacteria, a parasite, or a yeast.
