Infected health care workers and patient safety: a double standard.

Jane L Perry1, Richard D Pearson, Janine Jagger.   

Abstract

US policy regarding health care worker-to-patient transmission of bloodborne pathogens, issued in 1991, is flawed. We review current evidence of such nosocomial infections and conclude that a standardized national policy is needed, which includes improved surveillance and follow-up of blood exposures to patients and targeted practice restrictions for infected practitioners performing exposure-prone procedures.
