Incidence of seroconversion to anti-HCV from December 1989 to May 1991 was evaluated in patients and in their sexual partners. In December '89, 13 of 66 and in May '91, 26 of 75 patients were HCV positive. 9 of 13 new, seroconverted patients had been transfused. Seroconverted mean dialytic age was lower than that of previous HCV-positive patients. All the sexual partners were HCV negative. Blood transfusion seems to be the main risk factor for HCV infection, while environmental contamination is still debatable.
对1989年12月至1991年5月期间患者及其性伴侣中抗丙型肝炎病毒(anti-HCV)血清学转换的发生率进行了评估。1989年12月,66例患者中有13例HCV阳性,1991年5月,75例患者中有26例HCV阳性。13例新发生血清学转换的患者中有9例曾接受输血。血清学转换患者的平均透析年龄低于先前HCV阳性患者。所有性伴侣HCV均为阴性。输血似乎是HCV感染的主要危险因素,而环境污染仍存在争议。
