[Determination of anti-HC in relatives of carriers as a way of detecting new cases].
A matter of interest is still knowing the disease in carriers of HVC among relatives. We studied 270 relatives of carriers of HVC. In only 3 cases the serology was (+). We did not found differences between our results and what was published. This could mean that the differences were not due only too transfusional transmission and could exist others possibilities.
