Transmission of Bloodborne Viruses in the Renal Dialysis Unit
Because of serious outbreaks of HBV infection in haemodialysis patients, active immunisation and surveillance are undertaken regularly: HBsAg monthly, HCV three-monthly and HIV six-monthly; and on return from travel. HBV immunisation is given as double dose of the vaccine at 0,1,2 and 12 months.
