Non-A, non-B hepatitis is common among individuals with clotting factor deficiencies who have had multiple exposures to replacement concentrate. Newly introduced screening tests for hepatitis C virus antibody make it possible to determine the prevalence of this entity in defined populations. In 68 haemophiliac patients attending the Groote Schuur Hospital clinic, 44 were shown to be positive (65%). There was no significant correlation between seropositivity for this agent and severity of the bleeding disorder, age or elevation of the liver enzyme values.
非甲非乙型肝炎在多次接触替代浓缩物的凝血因子缺乏个体中很常见。新引入的丙型肝炎病毒抗体筛查试验使得确定特定人群中该疾病的患病率成为可能。在格罗特·舒尔医院诊所就诊的68名血友病患者中，44名被检测为阳性（65%）。该病原体的血清阳性与出血性疾病的严重程度、年龄或肝酶值升高之间没有显著相关性。
