Abstract
In 1970, the RNA virus responsible for the most cases of parenteral non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANBH) was identified and named hepatitis C virus (HCV). It is found that since then genome sequence of virus has been determined and at least 10 different types have been identified. It has been determined that the majority of patients infected with HCV develop chronic liver diseases, in particular chronic active hepatitis or cirrhosis, and some of them develop hepatocellular carcinoma. It was found that in 2016 the incidence rate of HCV in the Republic of Uzbekistan was 0.2 per 100 thousand people. In some areas of the republic, the incidence of HCV varied widely (per 100 thousand population): in the Republic of Karakalpakstan - 0.9, Andijan region. - 0.1, Bukhara region. - 0.4, Jizzakh region. - 0.2, Kashkadarya region. - 0.3, Navoi region. - 0.2, Namangan region - 0.1, Samarkand region. - 0.2, Surkhandarya region. - 0.1, Syrdarya region. - 0.3, Tashkent region. - 0.1, Fergana region. - 0.1, Khorezm region. - 0.0, Tashkent city - 0.3. It has been found that currently there is no effective therapy against HCV, as well as protocols for passive or active immunization against HCV. Epidemiological studies show that HCV infection is relatively well limited to certain groups of patients, in particular injecting drug users and recipients of blood and blood products. However, since HCV infection is transmitted mainly parenterally, it should be considered as a potential danger to dental personnel. This article reviews current knowledge about HCV infection with special attention to those issues that are relevant to dentists.
