Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Intrafamilial and sexual transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) are still being debated, and little is known about such transmission in central Africa. OBJECTIVE: To examine the rate of intrafamilial transmission of HCV between patients and their household members. STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Dienga, a remote village in Gabon, involving 195 household members of 14 index...
