Abstract excerpt

A nationwide community-based survey on hepatitis C virus (HCV) was carried out in seven townships in Taiwan. A total of 11,904 men aged 30-64 years were recruited for testing for antibodies against HCV (anti-HCV) by second-generation enzyme immunoassay. A total of 272 seropositive cases and 282 seronegative controls were interviewed to explore risk factors for HCV infection in the study areas. Spouses of 214...
