“…There is no evidence that HCV is spread readily by kissing, sneezing, coughing, food, water or sharing eating or drinking utensils (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1998). The prevalence of HCV infection among dental health care workers exposed to saliva is similar to that for the general population (Kuo et al , 1993; Thomas et al , 1996; Lodi et al , 1998; Cleveland et al , 1999; Ammon et al , 2000) but most of these studies have been conducted either at a time when the population prevalence of HCV infection was low, or on health care workers using universal precautions against infection. Nevertheless, in a recent follow‐up study on over 25 000 unprotected orogenital contacts in a cohort of heterosexual couples there was not a single seroconversion to HCV (Marincovich et al , 2003) suggesting that orogenital transmission must be uncommon.…”

“…While the occupational risk for dentists is considered to be relatively low, this may cause some dentists to try and avoid managing injecting drug users. 15 In addition, drug users have been known to try to obtain opiate analgesics from dentists by deception. 16,17 The problems associated with drug users failing to turn up for treatment, when an appointment has been made, have been noted.…”

“…Hepatite viral é o termo utilizado para descrever uma infecção causada por um grupo de vírus com afinidade pelo fígado (Anders et al 2 , 2000). Dentre estas, a hepatite C merece uma atenção especial, devido à alta prevalência e incidência da doença, à ocorrência de sérias consequências de saúde devido à infecção crônica, à falta de uma vacina efetiva para proteger os profissionais da saúde e outros de risco à exposição ao vírus, e à limitada efetividade do tratamento (Porter e Lodi 28 , 1996; Cleveland et al 6 , 1999; Gillcrist 14 , 1999; Anders et al 6 , 2000; Coates et al 8 , 2001).…”

“…Ainda em função da marcada heterogenicidade do genoma do VHC, resultado de mutações que ocorrem durante a replicação do vírus, um mesmo paciente tem a possibilidade de contrair mais de um tipo de vírus (Molinari 25 , 1996). O seu período de incubação é cerca de duas semanas a seis meses, com média de seis a oito semanas (Cleveland et al 6 , 1999).…”
