HCV infection has emerged as a significant problem for both dialysis patients and medical staff. We report the data found in a dialysis center in Bucharest for hepatitis B, C and HIV infections. Single random samples collected from 133 dialysis patients give a seroprevalence of 91.7% for HCV antibodies in contrast with the absence of seropositives between medical staff members. To assess the relative risk for HCV transmission by sexual or casual contacts we investigated also 15 samples from the relatives of patients. One spouse and the child were found positive. The differences in the epidemiology of B and C hepatitis are discussed.
丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染已成为透析患者和医护人员面临的一个重大问题。我们报告了在布加勒斯特一家透析中心发现的有关乙型、丙型肝炎病毒及艾滋病病毒（HIV）感染的数据。从133名透析患者中采集的单次随机样本显示，HCV抗体血清阳性率为91.7%，而医护人员中未发现血清阳性者。为评估通过性接触或偶然接触传播HCV的相对风险，我们还对15名患者亲属的样本进行了调查。发现一名配偶和一名儿童呈阳性。文中讨论了乙型和丙型肝炎流行病学的差异。
