To clarify the intrafamilial transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV), the prevalence of antibody to HCV (anti-HCV) in 107 index patients with type C chronic liver disease was studied and compared with the prevalence of anti-HCV antibody in their 296 family members. Of the 85 index patients who were
## Abstract Heterosexual transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is uncommon, with few studies undertaken in Central Africa. To determine the frequency of inter‐spouse HCV transmission, cross‐sectional studies of elderly individuals in Ebolowa, Cameroon and Nola, Central African Republic, in which,
To determine whether horizontal transmission of the hepatitis B virus contributes to the high prevalence of infection with this virus in an endemic region, residents of five villages in Zambia were tested for hepatitis B serologic markers. The prevalence of hepatitis B was determined by testing samp
