Seroprevalence of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) among hospital based general population was
determined using a third generation ELISA. The study population comprised of 661
individuals (including 36 health care workers) attending a tertiary care hospital in
Pondicherry, south India. The overall seroprevalence was found to be 4.8%(95% confidence
interval [CI]= 3.2-6.4%). The seroprevalence in males and females was 5.9%(95% CI= 3.5-
8.3%) and 3.3%(95% CI= 1.2-5.4%) respectively. There was no statistically significant …

There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of individuals who were positive in case of males and females (p> 0.05). None of the health care workers tested positive for antibodies to HCV.
