Abstract:

The correspondents give a case report of a definite seroconversion in a health care worker after accidental inoculation by a needle used for conveying bloody pleural fluid of a patient with HIV infection. The significance of this report is that no other high-risk factor appears to be present and also that the wound was superficial.
