title: [A case of hepatitis C virus possible transmission following a transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy].
abstract: The prostate biopsy is a current and well-codified act. To date, there have been no reported risks of viral transmission between patients linked to contaminated ultrasound probe. We report the case of a patient having contracted the virus of hepatitis C after transrectal prostate biopsy during an individual screening of prostate cancer.
