Abstract

Background: HCY is a virus causing hepatitis. According to the previous studies it could be transmitted through OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE. So this study has been carried out to determine the relationship between OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE and HEPATITIS C infection in Imam Khomeini, Taleghani, and Labafi nedjad hospitals in 1998. Materials and methods: This cohort study has been performed on 240 surgeons and nurses (case group) who were in close contact with needle, dealing with dyalitic and leukemic patients or drug abusers or even patients referring due to HEPATITIS C. The control group was composed of 400 hospital staff not dealing with blood or other infected materials. Groups were matched according to the sex, age, and job history. Previous HCY infection, tattooing, transplantation, positive family history of HCY infection, blood or blood products transfusion were all exclusion criteria in our study. Initial data including age, sex, job history, hospital, history of needle stick, dealing with hepatitic C, dyalitic and leukemic patients or drug abusers were all recorded. Anti-HCY was assessed by ELISA technique, and those positive samples were reconfirmed by immunoblotting test, finally the relationship between OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE and HEPATITIS C infection was investigated. Results: Mean age was 36.2±8.9 and 35±9.5 years old in the case and control group, respectively. The case group was composed of 54.6% women and 45.4% men whereas the control group had 51.2% women and 48.8% men. The mean year of employment was 11.4±8.2 and 11.3±8.4 in the case and control group, respectively. Conclusion: Anti-HCV was detected in 0.8% of the individuals in the case group which doesn't show significant difference with the control group (0%). So no significant relationship has been revealed between relationship between OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE and HEPATITIS C infection. Now regarding the lack of enough knowledge about viral genotype in Iran, future studies are strongly recommended.
