Question: Will it contaminate operating environment if surgeon takes off his sterile gloves and gown and then performs an esophagogastroduodenoscopy
how long can a patient go with a reactive result for a hepatitis C infection without treatment before liver failure starts? Will it make their current rheumatoid arthritis more progressive? Will the Hepatitis C infection keep their syphilis strand from going dormant?
Brief Answer:
See detailed answer below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
The gastroduodenoscopy needs to have gloves on but not necessarily the gown.
The period from hepatitis c infection to liver failure varies widely from 5-20 years and can't be predicted without frequent liver examinations.
It will for sure make arthritis more progressive and even if you don't have arthritis can cause hepatitis C arthritis.
It impaires the immune system and can make difficult to keep syphilis dormant.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
