Keywords in Portuguese

Diálise renal
Hepatite C/transmissão
Abstract in Portuguese
Pacientes em hemodiálise possuem um risco elevado de adquirir o vírus da hepatite C(VHC) e a transmissão nosocomial continua contribuindo para o aparecimento de novos casos. Este estudo analisa o seguimento de novos casos de hepatite aguda C, de janeiro de 2002 a maio de 2005,em um centro de Hemodiálise, no Sudoeste do Paraná,Brasil e da eficácia das medidas implantadas para conter a ocorrência de novos casos.Durante o período 32 novos casos foram identificados. Os testes de anti-VHC e transaminases realizados mensalmente mostraram níveis variáveis de ALT precedendo a soroconversão anti-VHC. A viremia, dada pelo RNA VHC, foi intermitente e eventualmente negativa.Toda a equipe foi re-treinada para seguir rigorosamente as Recomendações para Prevenção de Transmissão de Infecções entre os pacientes em Hemodiálise, e o último caso diagnosticado foi em Maio de 2004

Abstract in English
Chronic hemodialysis patients are at higher risk for acquiring the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the nosocomial transmission still accounts for the new cases.This study analyzed the follow up of newly acquired acute hepatitis C cases, from January 2002 to May 2005, in the Hemodialysis Center, Southwest region of Parana State, Brazil and analyzed the effectiveness of the measures to restrain the occurrence of new cases. During this period 32 new cases were identified. Anti-HCV and ALT monthly tests showed variable ALT levels preceding the anti-HCV seroconversion. The HCV RNA viremia was intermittently and even negative in some cases. All staff was re-trained to strictly follow the Recommendations for Preventing Transmission of Infections among Chronic Hemodialysis Patients and the last case was diagnosed in May 2004
