Abstract
Purpose. Analysis of the most probable causes of infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV), obtained on the basis of epidemiological history of patients. Materials and methods. We examined 91 patients suffering from various forms of HCV infection, in whom, when collecting an epidemiological history, the emphasis was on the use of injectable psychoactive substances, the presence of blood transfusions, surgical interventions, invasive medical and diagnostic procedures, hemodialysis, transplantation of internal organs or bone marrow, tattooing, piercing , manicure in places of deprivation is free, at home, other institutions using potentially non-sterile instruments, contact with the blood of a patient with confirmed viral hepatitis C, unprotected sex. Results. The most common combinations are surgery with blood transfusion, paramedical procedures, surgical interventions or invasive diagnostic interventions. Conclusion. Currently, paramedical manipulations are the dominant factors.
