CDC (MMWR): Updated recommendations regarding hepatitis B infected health care personnel. |
|
CDC: The previous recommendations have been updated to include the following changes: no prenotification of patients of a health-care provider's or student's HBV status; use of HBV DNA serum levels rather than hepatitis B e-antigen status to monitor infectivity; and, for those health-care professionals requiring oversight, specific suggestions for composition of expert review panels and threshold value of serum HBV DNA considered "safe" for practice (<1,000 IU/ml). These recommendations also explicitly address the issue of medical and dental students who are discovered to have chronic HBV infection. For most chronically HBV-infected providers and students who conform to current standards for infection control, HBV infection status alone does not require any curtailing of their practices or supervised learning experiences.

Chloramine - a concern not only for dialysis units but also for aquarium owners. |
|
Tulsa World: Chloramine-treated water is safe for people, but fish owners will need to buy new neutralizing agents because traditional cleaners remove only chlorine from water, said Scott Kosciolek, owner of Premier Aquatics. Fish in garden ponds may be at the greatest risk because some owners add water to their ponds from a hose.
