Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common hepatitis C virus (HCV) positivity is among postpartum patients in order to improve screening and care practices.
- Out of 2060 women tested, 0.97% showed signs of HCV infection, with some also having syphilis, and after 3.75 years, half of those with chronic infection received successful treatment.
- The findings suggest that HCV is more prevalent in postpartum women than other viral infections typically screened in pregnancy, highlighting the need for better follow-up care and infant screening to reduce transmission risks.
