Abstract
In Russia, cases of HIV transmission related to medical care are registered annually, including cases related to hemotransfusion. A clinical case of an artificial coinfection with human immunodeficiency and hepatitis C viruses in the course of medical care, as well as its clinical, social, legal and economic consequences, is presented. This clinical case is noteworthy for its relevance from both the perspective of examining the clinical course and treatment of illnesses, as well as analyzing the medical and legal implications of a iatrogenically acquired infection. The recurrence of such incidents of infection with significant social diseases in the 1990s and 2000s necessitated a serious reorganization of the national blood transfusion system and blood components. At present, with strict adherence to legal requirements in place, the risk of infection has been minimized.
