Sera from 720 inhabitants of Baker Lake, Northwest Territories, a community with high rates of hepatitis A and B infection, were tested for antibody to hepatitis C virus by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Only two individuals (0.3%) were positive, a 63-year-old female and an unrelated 10-year-old male. Neither individual was at increased risk of hepatitis C virus exposure. The results of this study indicate that hepatitis C virus infection is no more common in this northern Canadian Inuit settlement than it is in the blood donor population of southern Canada.
对来自西北地区贝克湖的720名居民的血清进行了检测，该社区甲型和乙型肝炎感染率很高，采用商业酶联免疫吸附测定法检测丙型肝炎病毒抗体。只有两人（0.3%）呈阳性，一名63岁女性和一名无血缘关系的10岁男性。这两人感染丙型肝炎病毒的风险均未增加。这项研究结果表明，在加拿大北部这个因纽特人定居点，丙型肝炎病毒感染并不比加拿大南部献血人群中更常见。
