Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence, risk factors and genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the general population older than 5 years of age in a southern Italian town. The positive predictive value of alanine transaminase (ALT) screening in identifying HCV positive subjects was also assessed. METHODS: Cluster random sampling from the census of the general population...
