Abstract

A nursing sister developed Australia-antigen-positive hepatitis 101 days after the blood of an Australia-antigen-positive patient was accidentally introduced into her eye. There may be important implications for those caring for patients with Australia-antigenemia or undertaking laboratory investigations on their blood.
