title: Hepatitis - an occupational hazard in health-care personnel.
abstract: Viral hepatitis represents an increasing risk for health care personnel, largely due to the spread of parenteral drug abuse. While regular monitoring of high risk health care workers is a good research project, there is little evidence to show whether it is of practical value. General prophylactic and hygienic measures are still the best methods of preventing the spread of the disease.
