Abstract

C Hepatitis is one of the most common reason of persist viral infection of the liver, chronic hepatitis, Liver cirrhosis and/ or Hepatocellular Carcinoma worldwide. It is very important to reveal cases of acute hepatitis timely and to establish route of transmission, that on the one hand will prevent the future prevalence of the disease. The aim of the research was to reveal clinical-epidemiological peculiarities of cases acute hepatitis C. In 20132015 years 31 patients were hospitalized with diagnosis of acute C hepatitis According to epidemiological anamnesis the main causes of spreading infection remain invasive medical and stomatological manipulations, intravenous drug injections. It is worthy to note that in high percentage of patients the route of transmission wasn’t revealed. – this proves significance of different manipulations as causative agents in further increase of infected patients.
