[Follow-up of blood donors with positive serology for hepatitis C virus and their recipients is insufficient].

TL;DRAbstract

HCV seroprevalence among blood donors in France is closed to that observed in Northern Europe. In this population, there is a great discrepancy between the ELISA and RIBA tests. During the survey period, the follow-up of HCV positive blood donors seemed to be very insufficient. The screening of their recipients was poorly effective, thus emphasizing the importance of the systematic and prospective follow-up of blood donors.
