Patient-to-Patient Transmission of Hepatitis C at Iranian Thalassemia Centers Shown by Genetic Characterization of Viral Strains

23 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C is prevalent among thalassemia patients in Iran. It is mainly transfusion mediated, in particular among patients treated before 1996 when blood screening was introduced. OBJECTIVES: The current study aimed to investigate why patients still seroconvert to anti-HCV in Iranian thalassemia centers. PATIENTS AND METHODS: During 2006-2007 sera were sampled from 217 anti-HCV positive thalassemia...
