title: [Occupational accidents with possible HIV contamination].
abstract: From January 1st, 1984 until December 31st, 1988 586 employees of the University Clinic of Frankfurt, West-Germany, were treated after occupational accidents with potentially HIV-contaminated materials. The majority of the patients were admitted because of lacerations that occurred with used injection needles. Up to now the sero-conversion of a patient after this special kind of trauma has not been documented in West-Germany. In our clinic we found an infection in one employee, which is due to an occupationally acquired injury.
