Marked differences in the distribution of markers of hepatitis C and B among children in closed children's institutions was established. The frequency of detection of anti-C100-3 in children varied from O in St. Petersburg to 29.4% in Nalchik. A high rate of infection in children is primarily associated with a low level of medico-sanitary service. The results indicate the advisability of specific prophylaxis of viral hepatitis C in specialized children's institutions.

Markedly unequal distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) among blood donors in different regions of the USSR was established. The necessity of introduction into the blood service of regular donor blood screening for anti-C100-3 is substantiated. The portion of chronic hepatitis associated with HCV in the structure of chronic virus hepatitis was established. The results of the study indicate the expedience of specific virus hepatitis C prophylaxis in contingents of high risk of HCV infection.
