Virus transmission by subcutaneous jet injection.

P R Brink, A M van Loon, J C Trommelen

    Journal of Medical Microbiology
    |December 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Subcutaneous jet injection can transmit virus infections, as shown in a mouse model using the LDH virus. Further research is needed to ensure jet injectors are safe for mass vaccinations.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Subcutaneous jet injection is a method for mass inoculation.
    • The potential for virus transmission via jet injectors requires thorough investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the risk of virus transmission using subcutaneous jet injection.
    • To assess the safety of jet injectors for widespread use.

    Main Methods:

    • An animal model utilizing mice infected with the LDH virus was employed.
    • Virus transmission was specifically assessed following subcutaneous jet injection.

    Main Results:

    • Virus transmission occurred in 16 out of 49 cases (32.7%) via subcutaneous jet injection.
    • Alternative routes of cross-infection were effectively ruled out in the study.

    Conclusions:

    • Subcutaneous jet injection poses a risk for transmitting virus infections.
    • Additional studies are essential to confirm the safety of jet injectors before their use in mass vaccination campaigns.
