The surgeon today is obliged to operate on an increasing number of patients who are classified at high risk. The hazards of blood splashes at operation have also been reported suggesting that Hepatitis B virus (HBV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) can be transmitted by conjunctival contamination (1,2). The eye splash injuries due to peritoneal echinococcal fluid have not been determined in the literature. We reviewed our experiences relevant to two surgeons exposed to the eye splash injuries due to peritoneal echinococcal fluid in order to emphasize the risks of transmission of infections via the eye.
