In Kampala, Uganda, in 2001, hepatitis C virus antibodies were found in 27 (4%) of 603 children and in 62 (12%) of 525 of their mothers. However, only approximately 10% of positive results were confirmed by reverse transcription-PCR, which suggests frequent false-positive results or viral clearance. All sequenced types were genotype 4.
2001年，在乌干达坎帕拉，603名儿童中有27名（4%）、其525名母亲中有62名（12%）检测出丙型肝炎病毒抗体。然而，只有约10%的阳性结果通过逆转录聚合酶链反应得到确认，这表明存在频繁的假阳性结果或病毒清除情况。所有测序类型均为4型基因型。
