title: [Evaluation of prophylaxis and actual prevalence of HBV infection in twelve hemodialysis centers of Northern Poland].
abstract: The aim of the study was to estimate the HBV infection preventive measures used in the twelve dialysis centres in north Poland. In all of the centres hepatitis B vaccination and segregation of HBV infected patients (dedicated machines or separate rooms), which are the two basic HBV infection control methods, were introduced. Our results point out that in some of the centres certain modification of these methods would be possible, including universal predialysis vaccination programme, changes in hepatitis B vaccination schedules with most effective routes of vaccination only and dedication for HBV infected patients not only separate rooms but separate dialysis staff as well.
