Hepatitis C: who is at risk and how do we identify them?
Abstract
The transmission of, and screening for, HCV infection varies considerably throughout the world; differences between resource-poor and resource-rich countries are particularly pronounced. The perspective of this review, principally, is that of resource-rich countries. The UK, particularly Scotland, experience is drawn on.
