TRANSFUSION COMPLICATIONS: Declining hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence in pregnant women: impact of anti‐HCV screening of donated blood

Abstract

Anti-HCV screening of donated blood and hygienic improvements have markedly decreased HCV infection of pregnant women with a transfusion history; however, 70% of anti-HCV-reactive women were deemed to be infected via routes other than transfusion.
