Serum autoimmune reactions are found in many patients with hepatitis C. A high prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and antithyroid antibodies in patients with chronic hepatitis C was recently reported, We have compared the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and antithyroid peroxidase antibodies in blood donors with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (study group) and in seronegative anti-HCV donors (control group), One hundred and ninety-two blood donors were studied: 96 were anti-HCV positive by ELISA 2 (48 males and 48 females; age 48+/-12.9 years, mean +/-SD), and 96 were HCV seronegative (55 males and 41 females; age 37+/-14.8 years), In all patients, serum TSH (0.25-4.2 mU/l) and fT4 (9-23 pmol/l) were measured by immunochemiluminiscent assays and antithyroid peroxidase antibodies (normal
