Background and Methods There are few data on the prevalence and clinical outcome of hepatitis C infection in children. We studied 458 children who underwent cardiac surgery in Munich, Germany, before 1991, when blood-donor screening for hepatitis C was introduced in Germany. Their mean age at first operation was 2.8 years; none of the children had received blood transfusions before or after cardiac surgery, and none of their mothers had antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV). We compared these patients with 458 control subjects matched for age and sex. Results Sixty-seven (14.6 percent) of the 458 patients who had undergone cardiac surgery had anti-HCV, as compared with 3 (0.7 percent) of the control subjects (P<0.001). At a mean interval of 19.8 years after the first operation, 37 (55 percent) of the 67 patients who were positive for anti-HCV had detectable HCV RNA in their blood. The infection had cleared in the other 30 patients, as evidenced by negative results on three polymerase-chain-reaction a...
