The Uk

All blood donated in the UK is tested for antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV), and 1 in 1800 samples is confirmed positive.1 Blood from anti-HCV positive donors is discarded to avoid transmission of the virus, and in most centres these donors are contacted and advised to see their general practitioners. In this article we discuss the management of patients found to be anti-HCV positive either through the blood donor service or as a result of investigations for other indications.

Hepatitis C Virus Infection

Purpose of this study is to evaluate the different indications for screening for Anti HCV. This study was carried out in outdoor and indoor department of North Medical Ward of Mayo Hospital, Lahore. This is a non-interventional observational study. Two hundred patients ELISA proved HCV infection were evaluated to find out what were the different circumstances or symptomatology when tests for HCV infection were advised. So that a screening strategy can be formed. As hepatitis C virus infection has varied presentation and clinical features, the general practitioners, physicians, dermatologists and psychiatrists should be conscious about it an advise for Anti HCV detection whenever it is suspected. Screening of the early cases is beneficial both for the patients and its relatives.
