AB The prevalence of seropositivity to Hepatitis C and B virus and HIV
infection in Haemodialysis patients was assessed in sera from 235
patients from 6 dialysis units in Tunisia. Anti-HCV antibodies were
found in 106 patients (45.10%), the hepatitis B surface antigene was
found in 19 patients (8%), and no case of HIV infection was found.
Anti-HCV positivity was correlated with duration of dialysis (p <
0.001). There was no correlation between anti-HCV positivity and the
number of transfusions.
