Hepatitis Outbreaks Growing Issue in Non-Hospital Settings
ATLANTA, Jan. 5 -- Outbreaks of viral hepatitis are a growing problem in non-hospital healthcare facilities, such as nursing homes and hemodialysis clinics, the CDC has warned. Over the past decade, there have been 33 outbreaks of hepatitis B and C in

FDA Approves Most Comprehensive System To Test Donated Blood For HIV, Hepatitis B & Hepatitis C
The United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new nucleic acid test from Roche to screen donated blood for HIV-1 Group M RNA, hepatitis C RNA and hepatitis B DNA in a single, automated assay. The test, called the cobas TaqScreen MPX Test
