Abstract:
Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the HCV seroprevalence in the general population visiting the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University. Methods Between January 2013 and December 2015, a total of 160, 239 subjects were screened for the presence of anti-HCV antibodies in blood serum. Anti-HCV antibodies in serum samples were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . The results of anti-HCV were analyzed in the features of year, sex and age. Results The HCV seroprevalence in the general population from 2013 to 2015 was 1.11% , 1.04% and 0.91% , respectively, which was significantly higher in men than in women (1.30% vs. 0.91%,P＜0.05) . The highest HCV seroprevalence occurred in aged 31-65 years. Conclusions The analysis of the data suggests that the features of HCV-positive including year, sex and age could be beneficial for formulating scientific strategy and intervention measures of HCV infection and liver cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma caused by HCV in Kunming.
