Abstract
Two cases of documented HIV-1 transmission by needle stick and one case of probable transmission by eczematous lesion in three nurses in Germany are reported in the period 1988 to 1991. In two of the cases the nurse knew of the AIDS status of the index patient. A review of the three cases reiterates the importance of repeated training on the prevention of accident and on measures to be taken after an accident, as well as the need to keep the workplace free of additional burden when AIDS or HIV-infected patients are treated.Entities:
