Frequent recovery and broad genotype 2 diversity characterize hepatitis C virus infection in Ghana, West Africa.

Journal of virology - 1 Jul 2003

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is thought to mostly become chronic and rarely resolves. HCV infection was serologically screened in 4,984 samples from Ghanaian blood donors, and 1.3% prevalence was found. At least 53% of confirmed anti-HCV carriers had no detectable viral RNA and were considered to have cleared the virus and recovered from the infection. Confirmation was authenticated by the presence of...
