Abstract:

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a pan-global public health problem; our cross-sectional study over one year in 100 HCV-Ab positive patients whose mean age was 44.9 years showed predominance between 31 and 40 years. Genotype 3 was the most prevalent but maximum viral load was seen in genotype 1. Genotype 3 is most difficult to treat, hence it will be difficult to achieve a high sustained virological response with treatment.


Keywords: Hepatitis C Virus, Genotype, Epidemiology
