To determine the age-specific seroprevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a rural population in Maharashtra.
1054 serum samples collected from apparently healthy persons were tested by recombinant immunoblot assay for antibodies against HCV (anti-HCV). Anti-HCV positive samples were tested for HCV-RNA by nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
One man tested positive for anti-HCV; his sample was also HCV-RNA positive.
HCV infection is infrequent in this rural area in Maharashtra.
确定马哈拉施特拉邦农村人口中丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)的年龄特异性血清流行率。
对从表面健康的人采集的1054份血清样本进行重组免疫印迹试验,检测抗HCV抗体(抗-HCV)。抗-HCV阳性样本通过巢式逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测HCV-RNA。
一名男性抗-HCV检测呈阳性;其样本HCV-RNA也呈阳性。
在马哈拉施特拉邦的这个农村地区,HCV感染并不常见。
