ABSTRACT
HCV infection, a global public health problem is quite prevalent in India. In the present study conducted during February-July 1996 a total of 153 samples of different age groups and of both sexes were tested by ELISA for detection of Anti-HCV antibody. Anti-HCV was found in 13% of multi-transfused cases and in 8.8% cases with multiple needle-stick injury. Maximum seropositivity (20%) could be observed amongst males between 31-40 yrs. age group. HCV activity was noted more in males (13%) than in females (8.2%) and more relatively in subjects without a history of jaundice (11.5%) than those having the features of jaundice (10.5%). An increasing trend has also been observed amongst the multi-transfused cases in Calcutta.
