| Abstract | Soares, Raquel Mancini de Moraes. “Study of the Occurrence of Hepatitis C in the Ambulatory of Viral Hepatitis of the Clinics Hospital of The School of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo.”2012. 46 pages, Dissertation of Master’s Degree presented to the College of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto/ USP. 151 blood donators were analyzed sent from the Hemocenter of Ribeirao Preto to the Hepatitis Clinic of the University Hospital of the Ribeirao Preto Medical School, University of Sao Paulo, because these individuals had presented positive results for Hepatitis C in the screening tests for pre-donation, taken between 2001 and 2010. All of them had diagnosis confirmation through the use of molecular biology techniques. At the moment of arrival in the hospital, they were interviewed by a Social Assistant from the Hospital Nucleus of Epidemiology, in order to characterize them according to socio-demographic variables, to study risk factors that might be present, and genotypes found. The predominance was of male individuals, with low school levels, and coming from a less favored social stratum, with a median age of 36 years. There was a decreasing tendency of infected individuals along the years of study. The most prevailing genotype was type 1 with a percentage of 68.8%, followed by the genotype 3 (27.0%). The most prevailing potential risk factors were previous history of hospitalization with and without surgery, multiplicity of sexual partners in the past, acquaintance with drug user, contact with blood on dealing with to third parties, multiple current sexual partners and home contact with hepatitis cases. The following factors were also observed with high frequency: antecedent of blood transfusion, collective use of tooth brush, history of sexual contact with drug users, attendance to day care clinics in childhood and tattoos. Past use of injectable drugs and syringe and needle sharing were reported by 15.2% and 9.9%, respectively. The conclusion was that there must have been the omission of a number of risk factors at the time of the clinical screening, possibly indicating the desire of using the Blood Bank to make control of the serological status by some of the donators key Words: 1.
