Transmission of Hepatitis C Virus Infection to Spouses of Patients Undergoing Chronic Hemodialysis. Nephron, (82), 359-360.0028-2766https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/17274Sexual transmission of HCV is relatively rare [1]. However, that anti-HCV measurements were performed with the first-generation tests in previous years may have led to having less evidence HCV transmitted sexually [2]. On the other hand, the prevalence of HCV infection in HD patients is quite high and the transmission of this infection to the patients is generally by way of blood transfusion and nosocomial [3], and the prevalence of HCV infection in HD patients in Turkey is reported as 49.4% in a multicenter study [4]. In this study, we investigated whether anti-HCV-positive HD patients transmitted this infection to their spouses sexually.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCorrection82359360WOS:000085095900021N/A
