Abstract excerpt

Hemodialysis patients are at increased risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The aim of this study was to investigate a HCV outbreak in a hemodialysis unit using epidemiological and molecular methods. Between April 2003 and October 2003, anti-HCV seronconversion was detected in four patients attending the unit. These cases were added to 10 patients already anti-HCV positive upon admission in the unit. All 14...
