ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) in health-care workers (HCW). Sera from 439 unselected HCW were assessed for anti-HCV by 2nd generation enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) and anti-HBc by ELISA. Anti-HCV (+) sera were evaluated by line immunoassay (LIA) (LiaTeK, Organon). Anti-HCV proved positive by ELISA in 12 (2.73
