Hepatitis C virus infection and risk factors in health-care workers at Ain Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt.

The objectives of this study were to document the background prevalence and incidence of HCV infection among HCWs in Ain Shams University Hospitals in Cairo and analyse the risk factors for HCV infection. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2008 among 1770 HCWs. Anti-HCV prevalence was age-s...

        The objectives of this study were to document the background prevalence and incidence of HCV infection among HCWs in Ain Shams University Hospitals in Cairo and analyse the risk factors for HCV infection. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2008 among 1770 HCWs. Anti-HCV prevalence was age-standardized using the Cairo population. A prospective cohort was followed for a period of 18 months to estimate HCV incidence. The crude anti-HCV prevalence was 8.0% and the age-standardized seroprevalence was 8.1%. Risk factors independently associated with HCV seropositivity were: age, manual worker, history of blood transfusions and history of parenteral anti-schistosomiasis treatment. The estimated incidence of HCV infection was 7.3 per 1000 person-years. HCWs in this setting had a similar high HCV seroprevalence as the general population of greater Cairo.
        Les objectifs de la presente etude etaient de documenter la prevalence et l'incidence de fond de l'infection par le virus de l'hepatite C chez les agents de sante de l'hopital universitaire Ain Shams du Caire et d'analyser les facteurs de risque de contracter une infection par le virus de l'hepatite C. Une enquete transversale a ete menee en 2008 aupres de 1770 agents de sante. La prevalence des anticorps contre le virus de l'hepatite C a ete normalisee pour l'age par rapport a la population du Caire. Une cohorte prospective a ete suivie pendant 18 mois pour estimer l'incidence de l'infection par le virus de l'hepatite C. La prevalence brute des anticorps contre le virus de l'hepatite C etait de 8,0 % et la seroprevalence normalisee pour l'age etait de 8,1 %. Les facteurs de risque independamment associes a une seropositivite pour le virus de l'hepatite C etaient les suivants : l'age, le travail manuel, des antecedents de transfusion sanguine ainsi que des antecedents de traitement parenteral contre la schistosomiase. L'incidence de l'infection par le virus de l'hepatite C a ete estimee a 7,3 pour 1000 personnes par an. Les agents de sante de cet etablissement hospitalier avaient une seroprevalence du virus de l'hepatite C aussi elevee que la population generale du Grand Caire.
