Risk of Hepatitis C Virus Transmission From an Infected Gynecologist to Patients<subtitle>Results of a 7-Year Retrospective Investigation</subtitle>

Abstract

To our knowledge, this is the largest retrospective investigation of the risk of provider-to-patient transmission of HCV conducted so far. Our findings support the notion that such transmissions are relatively rare events and might provide a basis for future recommendations on the management of HCV-infected health care workers.
