Abstract EN
Prostate biopsy is a current and well-codified procedure; antibiotic prophylaxis and rectal enema limit the risk of infection.
To date, there has been no reported viral transmission between patients due to a contaminated ultrasound probe.
In this study, we report the case of a patient who contracted the hepatitis C virus after transrectal prostate biopsy as part of an individual screening for prostate cancer.
