尽管丙型肝炎病毒 (HCV) 治疗取得了重大进展，但大多数 HCV 感染者仍未得到诊断。我们报告了巴尔的摩老年人中心的 HCV 检测，结果显示感染率为 9.4%。我们的数据表明，在适当的环境下进行基于社区的丙型肝炎病毒检测和与护理的联系是可行的且效果良好。
Despite significant advancements in hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatments, the majority of individuals infected with HCV remain undiagnosed. We report on senior citizen center-based HCV testing in Baltimore, which revealed a 9.4% prevalence of infection. Our data suggest that community-based HCV testing and linkage to care in appropriate settings is feasible and high yield.
