Inkcazo eneenkcukacha
Intsholongwane ye-Hepatitis C (HCV) yayikhe yabizwa ngokuba yintsholongwane ye-hepatitis B kunye nokudluliselwa kwe-extratestinal, kwaye kamva yahlelwa njengentsholongwane ye-hepatitis C kusapho lwe-flavivirus, olusasazwa kakhulu ngegazi kunye nolwelo lomzimba.Izilwa-ntsholongwane zeHepatitis C (HCV-Ab) ziveliswa njengesiphumo seeseli zomzimba zokuzikhusela kwizifo ezisabela kusulelo lwentsholongwane yehepatitis C.Uvavanyo lwe-HCV-Ab lolona vavanyo lusetyenziswa kakhulu kwi-hepatitis C yophando lwe-epidemiological, ukuhlolwa kwezonyango kunye nokuxilongwa kwezigulane ze-hepatitis C.Iindlela zokufumanisa ezisetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo ziquka uhlalutyo lwe-enzyme-linked immunosorbent, i-agglutination, i-radioimmunoassay kunye ne-chemiluminescence immunoassay, i-composite ye-western blotting kunye ne-spot immunochromatography assay, phakathi kwayo i-enzyme-ikhonkco ye-immunosorbent assay yeyona ndlela isetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo kwiklinikhi.I-HCV-Ab e-positive luphawu losulelo lwe-HCV.
