The Regional Public Health Office recorded 47 cases of hepatitis B and C in 39 patients hospitalized in the regional hospital between September 2009 and July 2010. The outbreak cases included in the study met the previously set standard definition. Based on the epidemiological investigations a hypothesis was formulated on the route of infection transmission through the administration of parenteral solutions using a peripheral venous cannula during hospitalization. A retrospective cohort study revealed a statistically significant association between parenteral therapy administered using a peripheral venous cannula and disease (for viral hepatitis B: X2=49.53, p<0.001 and viral hepatitis C: X2=22.42, p<0.001). The results were in accordance with the failures to comply with the sanitary-epidemiological standards revealed by audits at the respective departments.
