After finding that hospital-related infections and risky behaviors, are the two most common reasons for HBV transmission among individuals with diabetes, doctors in Poland urged that all diabetic patients become protected against infection by receiving HBV vaccines.
"Patients suffering from insulin-dependent diabetes (type 1) incur high risk of infection with hepatotropic viruses because of frequent hospitalization and blood tests," Waldemar Halota and colleagues reported in Medical Science Monitor. Halota's team works in the Department of Infectious Diseases at L. Rydygier Medical University in Bydgoszcz, Poland.
