ABSTRACT

É descrito o primeiro caso de detecção do genótipo 4 do vírus da hepatite C (VHC) em Salvador, BA. Foram utilizados os testes de RT-PCR para detecção do VHC-RNA, e o LIPA para genotipagem. O genótipo 4 responde mal ao tratamento, sendo portanto importante a busca ativa dos contactantes.


The first detected case of genotype 4 of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Salvador, Bahia, is described. RT-PCR tests were used to detect HCV-RNA, and LIPA was used for genotyping. Genotype 4 responds poorly to treatment, and it is therefore important to actively search for people who have been in contact with it.
