HCV genotyping in India - Quo vadis?
|
In India, the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody (Ab) ranges from 0.12 per cent to 0.68 per cent in the general population1,2. Since nearly 70 per cent of HCV Ab positive individuals are viraemic3 the number of individuals harbouring circulating virus in our country could range from one to six million.
HCV is transmitted principally through parcnteral routes. The parenteral modes of transmission include blood transfusions, blood product infusions and organ transplantation4. Vertical transmission of HCV has also been described5. Though reports on the sexual transmission have been ...
