Presentation transcript:

Blood borne Pathogens Any organism (bacteria, virus, etc..) that can cause disease is a pathogen. Blood-borne pathogens are those found in blood itself as well as on blood-soiled bandages, needles and other items that contain blood. If a person comes in contact with blood infected with a blood borne pathogen, he or she may become infected.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Hepatitis B (HBV) Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Causes inflammation of the liver Can severely damage the liver and lead to cirrhosis may have flu like symptoms (which can become very severe) may have no symptoms at all and be unaware that they are infected   attacks the body’s immune system, leaving you susceptible to disease and infection Symptoms of HIV infection include flu-like symptoms, fever, diarrhea and fatigue A person can be infected with HIV and have no symptoms eventually develop Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) There are treatments for AIDS but no cure at the present time.

Transmission Exposure to contaminated blood can occur through: blood transfusion needle stick with a contaminated needle direct contact with contaminated blood through an open area on your skin These viruses are spread through: sexual activity contact with contaminated blood

Universal Precautions Assume that all blood and body fluid could be a source of infectious disease. When working with blood or other body fluids, steps are taken to protect yourself from exposure to infection. These steps include: Never touch blood or body fluids if you do not have to Wearing gloves Hand washing Cleaning contaminated surfaces with an appropriate solution (one part bleach to 10 parts water). School custodial staff will take care of this for you. Proper disposal of contaminated materials Cover any cuts/open skin with band aids Obtain Hepatitis B vaccine Report any exposure immediately

Procedures to follow if an exposure incident occurs If there is an exposure, wash the exposed area immediately contact the school nurse. Where to seek medical evaluation & treatment Local city or county health department Private physician Local hospital emergency room
