SAIZ DE LA HOYA-ZAMACOLA, P. et al. Expert recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection in the prison setting. Rev. esp. sanid. penit. [online]. 2007, vol.9, n.1, pp.21-32. ISSN 2013-6463.
The prevalence of HCV infection in Spanish prisons is very high (38.5%). The characteristics of the infected patients, particularly the high rate of HIV coinfection, makes it very likely that the morbidity and mortality produced by serious liver disease secondary to this infection will increase considerably in the coming years. A group of Spanish experts with experience in patients who are inmates has been invited to establish a series of recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection in Spanish prisons.
