The prevalence of antibodies against the hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) in patients seropositive for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and suffering from this disease has been analyzed in comparison to a control group. Our results suggest that the high rate of prevalence found in RA patients is due to IgG interference in the measuring method used.
