Medical Reference Publication

Excerpt
Polypharmacy, parenteral treatment, and blood-borne infection Parenteral transmission of viral disease is largely associated in the medical literature with blood transfusion. In less developed countries risk of accidental inoculation has been implicated in hospital-centred outbreaks of various conditions, including Ebola fever and HIV infection (1, 2). Circumstantial evidence has recently been presented in the Lancet to show that two recent outbreaks of Lassa fever in small hospitals in rural Nigeria were fuelled by reuse of disposable syringes during parenteral drug rounds conducted by inadequately trained and supervised staff (3).
