Abstract:
We searched for antibodies to hepatitis C in a sample of 3079 Tunisians in the suburban area of Tunis. 30 people were positive by ELISA and 22 were confirmed by immunoblotting. This result represents a prevalence of 0.71% which is close to the values reported in European countries of the Mediterranean area.
