A systematic virological follow-up of 114 haemodialysis patients treated in the same unit showed that 37, including 17 PCR positive patients, were seropositive for hepatitis C virus (HCV). Type 1 b HCV was detected in 10 patients and was much more frequent in this population than in the whole popula
A systematic virological follow-up of hemodialysis patients identified 11 cases of de novo hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the same unit that were not due to blood transfusion. There were three groups of infection, each occurring within a period of 3 months: four infections with genotype 1b, tw
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) seroconversion was detected by routine screening in a haemodialysis patient, Patient 1. Serological investigations were undertaken over the following 3 months to determine if further transmission to other patients on the unit had occurred. No additional cases were identified.
