Abstract:
Objective To investigate the epidemiological features and disease spectrum of inpatients with hepatitis C in recent years and to provide reference for the control of hepatitis C.Methods A retrospective study of demography,epidemiology,and laboratory examination was performed in 1 10 hospitalized patients with hepatitis C.Results Of the 1 10 patients,60 were male and 50 were female,with a male-to-female ratio of 1.2:1.The main transmission routes included blood product transfusion (33.6%),surgery (30.0%),intravenous drug use (14.5%),and sexual transmission (4.5%).The other 19 cases (17.4%)were of unknown transmission route.The annual numbers of cases from 2008 to 2011 were 16,18,32,and 44,respectively.The genotype proportions in patients were as follows:1b,60.7%(17/28);2a,28.6%(8/28);1b/2a mixed type,7.1%(2/28);3b,3.6%(1/28).Of all patients,13.6%(15/110)were found with a-cute hepatitis C,67.3% (74/110)with chronic hepatitis C,19.1% (21/110)with liver cirrhosis,and 10.9% (12/110)with decom-pensated cirrhosis.Conclusion The incidence of HCV infection has been increasing year by year.The major HCV genotypes are 1 b and 2a.Hepatitis C is apt to develop into liver cirrhosis.It is necessary to reinforce monitoring and to carry out specific epidemiological study a-mong the target population.
