title: [On the infectiousness of HBs-antigen-positive medical personnel (author's transl)].
abstract: Electronmicroscopic study of 29 HBs-antigen-positive personnel of a large hospital demonstrated virus material in the blood in all instances. In nine cases Dane particles, which are the infectious principle of the hepatitis B virus, were also seen. Dane-particle-positive personnel in a hospital could well be a risk to the patients if the carrier status or infectiousness of the person is not known.
