We read the paper entitled “Knowledge of health care-associated infections among Georgian obstetricians and gynecologists” by Butsashvili et al. published in the May 2010 issue with great interest. In the article, the authors have valiantly evaluated the knowledge of health care-associated infections and adherence to infection control precautions for prevention of infection among health care workers and patients in the obstetrics and gynecological setting. However, we would like to make the following points: We would like to draw the kind attention of readers to an ignored, but common practice of blood group testing in developing countries, which is precipitating small but definite risk of transmitting blood-borne infections, especially infection by Hepatitis B virus.
