ABSTRACT
The surgeon today is obliged to operate
on an increasing number of patients who
are classified at high risk. The hazards of
blood splashes at operation have also been
reported suggesting that Hepatitis B virus
(HBV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) can
be transmitted by conjunctival contamination
(1,2). The eye splash injuries due to peritoneal
echinococcal fluid have not been determined
in the literature. We reviewed our experiences
relevant to two surgeons exposed to the eye
splash injuries due to peritoneal echinococcal
fluid in order to emphasize the risks of
transmission of infections via the eye.
