Prevalence of anti-HCV antibodies in patients with acute nonA-nonB viral hepatitis

Arch Virol Suppl. 1992:4:321-2. doi: 10.1007/978-3-7091-5633-9_72.

Abstract

In a group of 55 patients with NANBH, 81% were found to be reactive for HCV antibodies. In addition, many patients who had not been subject to parenteral risk of infection were also found to be reactive. Statistically, HCV positive patients have an increased tendency to develop chronic hepatitis.
