Rare but potentially life\u2010threatening events have been reported in recipients of HCV+ organs. Since 2018 at our institution, 182 HCV\u2013 patients have received HCV+ donor organs. Here, we retrospectively reviewed cases in which recipients\u2019 family member caregivers reported sustaining needlestick exposures at home following discharge of the transplant recipient from the hospital. Caregiver needlestick exposures were passively reported in three cases of HCV+ into HCV\u2013 transplants (1.64% of such cases at our center). In all instances, the exposed individuals were aiding in diabetic management and the exposure occurred via lancets or insulin needles. In one case, the recipient viral load was undetectable at the time of the exposure but in the other two, recipients were viremic, putting their family members at risk to contract HCV infection. Surveillance for the exposed individuals was undertaken and no transmissions occurred. For centers performing HCV+ into HCV\u2013 transplants, it is important that informed consent includes discussion of potential secondary risks to family members and caregivers. Further, protocols for postexposure surveillance and for the acquisition of DAA treatment in the event of a secondary transmission should be in place.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/tid.13775","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]],"date-time":"2021-12-15T15:33:20Z","timestamp":1639582400000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Caregiver exposure to hepatitis C virus following transplantation with hepatitis C viremic donor organs: A case series"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Michelle","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Institute New York University, Langone Health New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Stern","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Institute New York University, Langone Health New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ryan","family":"Robalino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Institute New York University, Langone Health New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elaina P.","family":"Weldon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Institute New York University, Langone Health New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1209-2873","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicole M.","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Institute New York University, Langone Health New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5588-905X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sapna A.","family":"Mehta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Institute New York University, Langone Health New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9074-5086","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zoe A.","family":"Stewart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Institute New York University, Langone Health New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0973-1657","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bonnie E.","family":"Lonze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Institute New York University, Langone Health New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/M17-2871"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/M18-0749"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajt.14381"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/20543581211033496"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamacardio.2019.4748"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201712-2614LE"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hep.30540"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajt.15162"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajt.16465"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajt.15311"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.semtcvs.2020.06.045"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajt.15582"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healun.2020.06.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajt.15583"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajt.15530"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e14381","DOI":"10.1111\/ctr.14381","article-title":"Best practice recommendations for the use of hepatitis C viremic donor organs for hepatitis C virus naive recipients","author":"Stewart ZA","year":"2021","journal-title":"Clin Transplant"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TXD.0000000000001222"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_1","unstructured":"Health NYSDo.Clinical guidelines for the medical management of hepatitis C: hepatitis C post\u2010exposure management.
