DETERMINE THE SEROEPIDEMIOLOGICAL SPREAD OF HEPATITIS C PATIENTS IN NAMANGAN

Abstract

To assess the true prevalence of HCV and understand the epidemiological features of the infection in different territories, seroepidemiological population studies are needed. Depending on the epidemiology in each region, HCV infection may be concentrated in certain risk groups (for example, among people who inject drugs) and/or age groups.
