Abstract
1- Bi1harsia1 patients are good susceptibles for HCV infections especially when exposed to parenteral therapy or invasive techniques.
2- HCV along with Schistosomal parasite infections are major risk factor J for chronic liver diseases in Egypt.
3- RT-PCR is the most reliable diagnostic tool for early detection of
HCV infection.
4- Further extensive research is needed on other risk factors responsible for what IS called community acquired HCV rather than parenteral
risks.
5- Further study is greatly needed on genot~e 4 to predict its response to interferon, its relapse rates and its association with complications of HCV infections.
6- Barber shops, unauthorized health personals practicing medicine specially in rural areas and conducting blood transfusion in private clinics without checking HCV are hot spots for spreading the disease in the community.
