Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is globally widespread. Southern Italy is a high prevalence region where the distribution of the HCV genotypes (GTs) is changing. Intravenous drug abuse is the only risk factor associated with a specific HCV GT (GT3). The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution and the risk factors for specific HCV GTs. A total of 682 patients with measurable serum HCV-RNA were enrolled between...
