Abstract
Hepatitis C is a worldwide problem. Hepatitis C virus is a major cause of both acute and chronic hepatitis. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 130-170 million individuals worldwide are infected with hepatitis C virus (Chen and Morgan, 2006; WHO, 2011). It was reported that Egypt had the highest number of reported infections, and the reason for that was attributed to the use of contaminated parenteral anti schistosomal therapy, which resulted in a mean prevalence of HCV antibodies in persons in Egypt ranging from 15% to 22%.
