“…However, it also determined an antibody positive prevalence of 1.94%. A more recent study found an antibody prevalence of 1.91% with a single ELISA test and 0.86% with confirmatory tests [92]. Thus, in 2009, the anti-HCV prevalence in the adult population (18+) in Poland was estimated to be 0.86%, with an estimated prevalence of 0.72% for all ages.…”

SUMMARY. Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of liver related morbidity and mortality. In many countries, there is a lack of comprehensive epidemiological data that are crucial in implementing disease control measures as new treatment options become available. Published literature, unpublished data and expert consensus were used to determine key parameters, including prevalence, viremia, genotype and the number of patients diagnosed and treated. In this study of 15 countries, viremic prevalence ranged from 0.13% in the Netherlands to 2.91% in Russia. The largest viremic populations were in India (8 666 000 cases) and Russia (4 162 000 cases). In most countries, males had a higher rate of infections, likely due to higher rates of injection drug use (IDU). Estimates characterizing the infected population are critical to focus screening and treatment efforts as new therapeutic options become available.

“…There are a number of studies reporting anti-HCV prevalence in Poland [91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101]. The largest study determined a viremic (RNA positive) rate of 0.60% [91].…”
