Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis C is a worldwide health problem. Intravenous drug users are the main risk group. OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of HCV genotypes in Italian injecting drug users and the distribution of genotypes in relation to the period when the infection was acquired. STUDY DESIGN: Two hundred sera from patients with chronic hepatitis C and a history of intravenous drug use were assayed...
