Abstract

Blood and body fluid Exposure is a major occupational safety problems for health care workers. Therefor We conducted a descriptive and retrospective study to identify the characteristics of blood exposure accidents in health care settings which lasted five years (2005-2009) at the two university hospitals of Sfax. We have 593 blood exposure accidents in health care settings 152 (25.6%) health personnel and 441 (74.4%) trainees' doctors, nurses and health technicians. The mechanism of blood and body fluid exposure was accidental needle-stick injury in 78.9% of health staff, and 81% of trainees, accidental cut in 14.7% of health workers and 10.2% of trainees. The increasing severity of blood exposure accidents is linked to the lack of safe behavior against this risk.

Abstract

The authors report the results of an investigation of witness cases realised in collaboration between Occupational Medecine Service and Immunology Laboratory of Hedi CHAKER University Hospital SFAX during the year 2000. The purpose was to search the genetic control of the HLA class I system for the non-response to hepatitis B vaccine and to evaluate the contribution of other favorite factors as tabac, sex, age. Thus, in a population of 32 healthy agents found nonresponders to hepatitis B vaccine by the titers of anti HBs antibody, we have performed the HLA-A, -B phenotypes by the technique of complement dependent microcytotoxicity. The frequency of studied HLA class I antigens, was compared for the non-responders group, to the frequency observed in witnesses group, done with 52 responders healthy agents. The rate of nonresponsiveness hepatitis B vaccine was evaluated up to 5 %. Statistically significant difference was observed for HLA A1 and-B44 markers showing fraquencies which were considerably higher in the non-responders than in witnesses.
