Clinical following-up of children born to a-HCV/HBSAg-positive women referred to a risk group for vertical transmission of hepatitis C/B viruses is one of the most important areas of medical care for this group of patients. The data of the analysis of the organization, quality and effectiveness of dispensary observation of children from the «risk groups» for the vertical transmission of HCV/HBV infection are presented. The unsatisfactory quality and effectiveness of the dispensary observation of this category of patients has been established. Inadequate medical activity and awareness of doctors on the prevention of parenteral viral hepatitis have been identified. There is substantiated the necessity of implementing a multi-level system for the prophylaxis of viral hepatitis C/B in a system encompassing both a child and a mother based on continuity at each of its stages, which will allow reduce the number of infected children of younger age groups.

Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) recurrence rates were similar between those with HCV/HIV co-infection (0.35/100 person-years) and HCV infection (0.42/100 person-years). Low rates of recurrence likely represent enrollment of an HIV population at low risk for recurrence. Care should be taken not to label all HCV/HIV co-infected patients as being at high risk for HCV recurrence.

Aim. To investigate clinical, epidemiological and laboratory features of acute viral hepatitis C hospital outbreak, registered in Aksy District, Kyrgyz Republic. Methods. The study was performed at department of infective diseases of Aksy Territorial hospital. 20 patients with acute hepatitis C were surveyed. All these patients were treated in the department of neurology of the same hospital (first one was admitted on 31.07.2006, last one - on 06.10.2006) for the mean term of 32 days before being admitted to the department of infective diseases. Epidemiologic, clinical and biochemical, serologic, virologic and instrumental methods were applied. Results. Acute hepatitis C was present as single infection in 19 cases, in was case it was associated with presence of surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus (HBSAg). All patients with acute hepatitis C had typical clinical pattern of the disease, moderate disease severity was the most common. Epidemiologic investigation revealed that all these patients while beain treated at the department of neurology, got injections using disposable syringes, no acupuncture was administered. None of them had parenteral and surgical interventions, blood transfusions, dental treatments 6 months prior to the admission. All of them denied any contact with any patients with known hepatitis C. One patient had survived acute viral hepatitis in childhood. It appears that this hepatitis C infection outbreak was related to parenteral transmission because all patients were admitted to the infectious department from a neurologic department only and all reported a history of receiving intravenous drugs.

Abstract Background: The epidemiology and risk factors for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Rwanda are not well known; however, this information is crucial to shaping the country’s public health approach to hepatitis C control. Methods: A HCV screening campaign was conducted in the general population in 24 districts previously identified to have a high HCV disease burden. At the time of sample collection, sociodemographic information and self-reported risk factors were collected. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to assess risk factors independently associated with hepatitis C antibodies (HCVAb) seroprevalence. Results: Out of a total of 326,263 individuals screened for HCVAb, 22,183 (6.8%) were positive. In multivariate analysis, risk factors identified as statistically associated with HCVAb Seroprevalence include history of traditional operation or scarification (OR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.05-1.14), presence of viral hepatitis in the family (OR=1.27, 95% CI: 1.15-1.40), widowed or separated/divorced (OR=1.36, 95% CI: 1.26-1.47), Southern province (OR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.88-2.08) and aged 65 years and older (OR=4.86, 95% CI: 4.62-5.11). Ubudehe category 3 (OR=0.97, 95% CI: 0.93-1.01) and participants using RAMA (Health insurances for employees of public and private sectors) insurance (OR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.70-0.85) had lower odds of HCV seroprevalence. Conclusions: Our findings provide important information for Rwanda’s strategy on prevention and case-finding. Future prevention interventions should aim to reduce transmission through targeted messaging around traditional healing practices and case-finding targeting individuals with a history of exposure or advanced age.

Viral Hepatitis C

Objective of the research: to assess the physicians' coherence on the prevention of viral hepatitis C (HCV) in children at the stages of medical care in maternity and child protection service (MCPS). Materials and methods: pilot study, coherence was assessed according to the questionnaire data of 4 groups of MCPS specialists: therapeutists (n=73), obstetricians-gynecologists (n=47), neonatologists (n=24) and pediatricians (n=87) using the Cohen's Kappa (κ). Results of the physicians’ coherence on the prevention of HCV did not reach the degree of good (p<0,05) and excellent (p<0,05) and depended on the semantic content of the question and the physicians’ specialty. Therapists had the worst agreement in the answers to questions reflecting medical activity, obstetriciansgynecologists – in terms of special knowledge about HCV, neonatologists – in their answers to questions on the organization of medical care for patients with HCV and patients from HCV-risk groups. Pediatricians, as well as therapeutists, had the greatest differences in answers to questions reflecting medical activity and, similarly to neonatologists, inconsistencies on organizational issues. Conclusions: it is necessary to develop and implement measures in practical healthcare that ensure consistency and continuity of physicians in the prevention HCV in children at each of the stages of medical care in MCPS.
