title: [Hepatitis C in Mexico].
abstract: There are at least five Mexican studies which analyze HCV prevalence. As far as seroprevalence is concerned, it's clear that it's closely related to transfusion history and sexual promiscuity. Based on data provided by the censuses and previous prevalence studies, it has been inferred that today there are nearly 1.2 million Mexicans infected with hepatitis C virus.
