Prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection in adults with the risk factors

Original language description

In 2017 chronic hepatitis C (CHC) seems to be a curable disease in most cases. Analysis of epidemiologic data of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection gained from a primary care office shows how HCV is underdiagnosed in the Czech Republic (CZ). The importance of primary care in screening of HCV infection is shown, as is the necessity of spreading information about this disease between common population and healthcare workers. the aim of the study is to determine seroprevalence of HCV antibodies and HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) positivity among registered patients with risk factors (RF) in medical history in one physician's practice. 1620 complete follow-ups of registered clients were accomplished during a 10-month period between 2016 and 2017 in the office of one general practitioner (GP). Amongst those 627 were confirmed to have RF. Each client with RF was tested for HCV antibodies, including detection of HCV RNA via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method in cases of HCV antibodies positivity.19 anti HCV positive clients were found, with a prevalence of 3.03%, 5 were HCV RNA positive, with a prevalence of 0.8%.
