Περίληψη:
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of liver
related morbidity and mortality. In many countries, there is a lack of
comprehensive epidemiological data that are crucial in implementing
disease control measures as new treatment options become available.
Published literature, unpublished data and expert consensus were used to
determine key parameters, including prevalence, viremia, genotype and
the number of patients diagnosed and treated. In this study of 15
countries, viremic prevalence ranged from 0.13% in the Netherlands to
2.91% in Russia. The largest viremic populations were in India (8666000
cases) and Russia (4162000 cases). In most countries, males had a higher
rate of infections, likely due to higher rates of injection drug use
(IDU). Estimates characterizing the infected population are critical to
focus screening and treatment efforts as new therapeutic options become
available.
