    Notes: Abstract Dialysis patients are at risk for infection by a variety of blood-borne agents trasmitted within dialysis units. The development of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening test prompted many studies on the prevalence of anti-HCV among dialysis patients. The authors have evaluated the prevalence of anti-HCV in 405 hemodialysis patients both by Elisa screening and 4-RIBA test system with a follow-up of two years. The study showed a difference in the incidence of antibodies to HCV by year. In 1990, 15.2% were positive with an increase to 20.8% in 1991. There was an increase of 5% in dialysis patients and only 1.9% in the personnel working in the dialysis ward. Another control group of volunteers did not show any positivity. In addition, the correlations of the antibodies against HCV with markers of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and history of transfusion were evaluated. These findings suggest that the patients found to be positive should be dialyzed on separate machines and special precautions must be undertaken to reduce the risk of transmission.

    Evaluation of indeterminate sera for hepatitis C virus by assays using synthetic peptides (1994)

    Notes: Abstract The development of new immunodiagnostic systems to study antibodies anti-HCV based on the use of synthetic peptides are potentially very important in the evaluation of indeterminate samples. We have compared two immunodiagnostic tests, the 3-RIBA and LIA-HCV test system, to examine the samples rated as indeterminate by the 2-RIBA test. The results showed that the specificity of the new tests has improved, in fact 29/40 of the indeterminate samples studied became positive with both tests. However, the 3-RIBA test showed higher sensitivity, since two samples negative by LIA-HCV, were positive with this system.
