Surgeons' Perception to Needle Stick Injuries and Transmission of Blood Borne Viral Infections by Pravin K Nair* and Ekta Chourasia in Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease
Needle stick injuries (NSIs) are common amongst surgeons with a
potential risk of transmission of blood-borne pathogens particularly
HBV, HCV and HIV. The aim of this study was to assess the surgeons'
perception to the transmission of blood borne viral infections, their
experience in dealing with such an occupational risk and identify why
NSI remains unreported in majority of cases.
