Overview

Hospital-based assessment finds 1.6% HCV seroprevalence in North India, suggesting key risk factors influence transmission.

Key Points

  • The seroprevalence of hepatitis C virus was identified at 1.6%, indicating a noteworthy public health concern.
  • Among male patients, the prevalence of HCV infection reached 77%, highlighting significant demographic disparities.
  • Multiple blood transfusions, hemodialysis, and IV drug abuse emerged as key risk factors for infection.
  • The prevalence of IgM anti-HCV reactivity was highest in individuals aged 20-40 years, stressing the need for targeted awareness.
