• Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Samoa and American Samoa - In this short report by Gregory l. Armstrong, Ian T. Williams, Utoofili Asofa’afetai Maga, Satupaitea Viali, Wendi l. Kuhnert, and Stephen T. McGarvey, it is revealed that “little is known about the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Pacific islands. In this study, serum specimens collected in 1985 and 2002 among the general populations of Samoa and American Samoa were tested for antibody to HCV by a third-generation enzyme immunoassay and a recombinant immunoblot assay. Of the 3,466 specimens tested, 8 (0.2%; 95% confidence interval _ 0.07–0.4%) were positive for antibody to HCV. Prevalence did not vary by location or demographic characteristic. Thus, HCV is present in the Samoas but at a low prevalence.” (au)
