The study was aimed at estimating the prevalence of infection with and the genotype of hepatitis C virus (HCV), and to determine the extent of underreporting of HCV cases. A total of 115,386 pregnant women seen by the Program for Protection of Pregnancy [Programa Estadual de Proteção à Gestante] of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Central-Western Brazil, were tested for anti-HCV antibodies between 2005 and 2007. Prevalence of HCV infection was 1.07 cases per thousand. Positive samples were tested for HCV RNA and genotyped. Genotype 1 was detected in 73% of samples, genotype 3 in 24.3%, and genotype 2 in 2.7%. Underreporting of hepatitis C cases was 35.5%.
本研究旨在估算巴西中西部马托格罗索州妊娠保护项目(Programa Estadual de Proteção à Gestante)中 115386 名孕妇的丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染率和基因型,并确定 HCV 病例漏报的程度。2005 年至 2007 年间,对这些孕妇进行了抗-HCV 抗体检测。HCV 感染的流行率为每千例 1.07 例。对阳性样本进行 HCV RNA 检测和基因分型。73%的样本检测到基因型 1,24.3%的样本检测到基因型 3,2.7%的样本检测到基因型 2。丙型肝炎病例漏报率为 35.5%。
