✦ Synopsis

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the predominant cause of parenterally transmitted non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis worldwide (1, 2). Although the clinical manifestations of acute HCV infection are often relatively mild, persistent infection is a frequent outcome and is associated with significant risk of progression to chronic liver

A high prevalence of anti-Cl00-3 antibodies has been reported in chronic hemodialysis patients. It is, however, unclear whether the results reflect true hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in these patients, since false-positive results have been reported with this antibody assay.
