Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Hepatology

Context:

  • Hepatitis diagnosis at Vienna University over 10 years revealed diverse etiological agents.
  • Non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANB) constituted 25.8% of diagnosed cases.
  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) was investigated as a primary cause of NANB.

Purpose:

  • To determine the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Austria.
  • To identify risk groups associated with HCV infection.
  • To analyze the etiological spectrum of hepatitis cases.

Summary:

  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) was detected in 9.6% of acute and 44.9% of chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis cases.
  • An estimated 12% of all hepatitis cases in Austria are attributed to HCV.
  • High HCV prevalence was noted in drug addicts (80%), polytransfused patients (44.8%), and within a specific dialysis unit (30%).
