TL;DR: The data suggest that PAT had a major role in the spread of HCV throughout Egypt, and this intensive transmission established a large reservoir of chronic HCV infection, responsible for the high prevalence ofHCV infection and current high rates of transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis C virus infection in a community in the Nile Delta: risk factors for seropositivity.
Mostafa Habib,Mostafa K. Mohamed,Fatma Abdel-Aziz,Laurence S. Magder,Mohamed Abdel-Hamid,Mohamed Abdel-Hamid,Foda Gamil,Salah Madkour,Nabiel Mikhail,Wagida A. Anwar,G. Thomas Strickland,Alan D. Fix,Ismail Sallam +12 more
TL;DR: Prevalence of anti‐HCV prevalence increased sharply with age among both males and females, suggesting a cohort effect with reduced transmission in recent years, and risk factors focused primarily on culturally influenced risks in rural Egyptian communities are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in a community in the Nile Delta: population description and HCV prevalence.
Fatma Abdel-Aziz,Mostafa Habib,Mostafa K. Mohamed,Mohamed Abdel-Hamid,Mohamed Abdel-Hamid,Foda Gamil,Salah Madkour,Nabiel Mikhail,David L. Thomas,Alan D. Fix,G. Thomas Strickland,Wagida A. Anwar,Ismail Sallam +12 more
TL;DR: This study, the largest community‐based survey to date, supports earlier reports of high levels of anti‐HCV among adults in rural areas of Egypt, although many of those who are seropositive will not have active liver disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liver disease in Egypt: Hepatitis C superseded schistosomiasis as a result of iatrogenic and biological factors
TL;DR: Efforts have been initiated by the Egyptian MOH to prevent new infections and complications of HCV in the estimated 6 million infected persons.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Examination of pregnant women in the Nile Delta in Egypt confirms Egypt's high HEV endemicity and shows that almost all women of childbearing age in these communities had prior HEV exposures without a history of liver disease.
