The degree to which case surveillance captures persons ever infected with HCV is unknown. We determined the discrepancy between HCV seroprevalence, estimated from national survey data, among adults in New York State in 2008 (n = 286 262, or 1.95%) and the number of infected persons reported to the state's surveillance hepatitis registries (n = 144 015). Findings suggest the need to strengthen the existing surveillance system.
病例监测捕捉到曾经感染 HCV 的人数尚不清楚。我们确定了 2008 年纽约州成年人 HCV 血清流行率(n=286262,占 1.95%)与州监测肝炎登记处报告的感染人数(n=144015)之间的差异。调查结果表明需要加强现有的监测系统。
