the actual prevalence of hepatitis C in Egypt

What is the actual prevalence of hepatitis C in Egypt? This question has no accurate answer. We at the NLI only have data on the prevalence on HCV infection among liver disease patients , and does not apply to the general population. Our studies on blood donors in the Institute are biased by the fact that our donors are targeted donors who donate to their family members who are hospitalized with advanced liver disease and bleeding, and they are expected to have a higher prevalence than the general population. Studies on the general population can be found in [publications by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and its epidemiology study centers and projects, many of which are in collaboration with the University of Maryland, USA. We advise interested researchers and students to review these publications in detail.
