OBJETIVO: A prevalência da infecção pelo vírus da hepatite C (VHC) é maior em pacientes submetidos à hemodiálise que na população em geral, possivelmente refletindo maior exposição a situações de risco. O estudo realizado teve por objetivo determinar a prevalência de anticorpos anti-VHC em pacientes em hemodiálise e identificar fatores relacionados às clínicas e aos pacientes, associados à transmissão do VHC. MÉTODOS: Realizou-se estudo transversal em 752 pacientes em hemodiálise em todas as 12 clínicas de Fortaleza, Ceará. Eles foram testados com anticorpos anti-VHC por ELISA de terceira geração. Foram entrevistados 663 pacientes quanto a aspectos sociodemográficos, clínicos e epidemiológicos. Fatores nosocomiais foram investigados utiliza...
