Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an infectious agent that has the potential to cause chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. We determined the prevalence and genotypes of HCV infection among groups of drug addicts: intravenous drug users (n = 134), methamphetamine users (n = 100), inhaled-drugs users (n = 19) and alcoholics (n = 50); a group of blood donors acted as a control. The control group...
