Risk factors were analyzed in a group of 117 blood donors seropositive for hepatitis C virus antibody. One risk factor, at least, was found in 63 (53.8%) subjects. Frequently encountered risk factors were 1) travels in developing countries (31/117); 2) blood transfusions (20/117); 3) health care works (10/117); 4) intravenous drug addiction (8/117); 5) homosexual or multiple heterosexual contacts (3/67). Our study emphasizes the high percutaneous transmission of hepatitis C in contrast with the low sexual transmission. No risk factor could be found in 54 (46.2%) of the 117 seropositive subjects: the route of transmission in these cases is an intriguing issue which certainly deserves further epidemiological investigations.
对一组117名丙型肝炎病毒抗体血清学阳性的献血者的危险因素进行了分析。63名（53.8%）受试者至少发现了一个危险因素。经常遇到的危险因素有：1）前往发展中国家旅行（31/117）；2）输血（20/117）；3）医护工作（10/117）；4）静脉吸毒（8/117）；5）同性恋或多个异性恋接触（3/67）。我们的研究强调了丙型肝炎经皮传播率高，而性传播率低。在117名血清学阳性受试者中，54名（46.2%）未发现危险因素：这些病例的传播途径是一个有趣的问题，当然值得进一步进行流行病学调查。
