“…In general, of those 33 who presented seroprevalence of HCV infection, nine reported having never used a condom, 11 had HIV/AIDS, 18 reported injecting drugs, 12 received blood transfusion, 25 had tattoos, and two had piercings. Similar data on the presence of tattooing in patients who had positive anti-HCV were found in the study by Rosa et al [15] in which the prevalence of anti-HCV antibodies was 9.7%.…”

“…People deprived of liberty are characterized by marginalization and use of drugs, especially illicit ones. These characteristics together with the poor conditions of confinement (including overcrowding) result in a high prevalence of infectious and contagious diseases as hepatitis C in Brazilian prision Rosa et al [15]. Although presenting a low prevalence for HCV, Silva et al [8] verified that in the prison population studied 53.3% were under 30 years old, 4.46% had already received blood transfusion or blood products, 64.3% reported endue tattoo, 6.25% have already used injectable drugs, 37.49% used intranasal drugs, and 41.96%…”

“…In a study performed by Rodrigues et al [14] researching the prevalence of infectious diseases in the male population collected in the regional prison of Santa Cruz do Sul, state of Rio Grande do Sul, the anti-HCV seropositivity was 4%, besides another infections have been detected as tuberculosis, hepatitis B, syphilis and HIV in that population. Another research developed by Rosa et al [15] in state of Rio Grande do Sul showed a percentage of positive anti-HCV in 9.7% individuals. In addition, it was reported that from 195 people who participated 109 had a tattoo, from which 15 had had anti-HCV positive (13.8%).…”

“…With regard to the frequency of risk behaviors, it was observed that 38.9% of subjects with anti-HCV reagent reported injecting drug use. A total of 16 (8.2%) reported to have had blood transfusions before 1993, and 5 (2.6%) reported homosexual relationships(Rosa et al, 2012).…”

As viral hepatitis is caused by too many etiological agents of universal distribution, having knowledge of scientific production on the prevalence of hepatitis C and its associated risks in prisons is of paramount importance. Here, the authors propose an integrative review carried out in the SciELO, LILACS, Google Academic and UpToDate databases on Brazilian works published between 2007 and 2017. Ten studies were selected, predominantly cross-sectional ones, which among them the prevalence of hepatitis C varied, ranging from 0.0% to 16.2% of seropositivity of anti-HCV. Because hepatitis C is a chronic disease with a practically asymptomatic course, it is considered a serious public health problem (responsible for worldwide many causes of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma) and requires efforts from government to diagnose, treat and prevent the disease, not only in relation to HCV itself, but also regarding to others sexually transmitted infections at various prisons in the country.transplantation [4].

“…The first one used second-generation ELISA and the other, third-generation ELISA. The other studies are from later years, 7 , 10 - 12 , 27 , 32 , 35 , 36 , 40 when it was possible to access second- and third-generation kits. The articles that described the generation or version of the kit and used the third-generation kit are shown in Table 1.…”

Prevalence of hepatitis C virus in Brazil’s inmate population: a systematic review

et al. 2015

OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection in Brazil’s inmate population.METHODS Systematic review on hepatitis C virus infection in the inmate population. Brazilian studies published from January 1, 1989 to February 20, 2014 were evaluated. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using a scale of 0 to 8 points.RESULTS Eleven eligible studies were analyzed and provided data on hepatitis C virus infection among 4,375 inmates from seven states of Brazil, with a mean quality classification of 7.4. The overall hepatitis C virus prevalence among Brazilian inmates was 13.6% (ranging from 1.0% to 41.0%, depending on the study). The chances of inmates being seropositive for hepatitis C virus in the states of Minas Gerais (MG), Sergipe (SE), Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Goiás (GO) and Espirito Santo (ES) were 84.0% (95%CI 0.06;0.45), 92.0% (95%CI 0.04;0.13), 88.0% (95%CI 0.09;0.18), 74.0% (95%CI 0.16;0.42), 84.0% (95%CI 0.08;0.31) and 89.0% (95%CI 0.01;0.05) respectively, lower than that observed in the Sao Paulo state (seroprevalence of 29.3%). The four studies conducted in the city of Sao Paulo revealed a lower prevalence in more recent studies compared to older ones.CONCLUSIONS The highest prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection in Brazil’s inmate population was found in Sao Paulo, which may reflect the urban diversity of the country. Despite Brazilian studies having good methodological quality to evaluate the prevalence of the hepatitis C virus, they are scarce and lack data on risk factors associated with this infection, which could support decisions on prevention and implementation of public health policies for Brazilian prisons.

ObjectivesSummarize hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence in injecting (IDU) and non-injecting drug users (NIDU), men who have sex with men (MSM), sex workers, and prison inmates in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).MethodsSystematic review on HCV prevalence in sub-populations in LAC. Databases searched from 1-1-2000 to 10-30-2013. Inclusion criteria: prevalence studies in sub-populations in LAC. HCV-antibody was marker for prevalence of current/past HCV infection and HCV-RNA for prevalence of HCV current infection.ResultsIDU HCV current/past infection presented highest prevalence, from 1.7 % in Colombia to over 95 % in Ciudad Juarez and Tijuana, Mexico and pooled regional anti-HCV prevalence was 49 % (CI 95 % 22.6–76.3 %). NIDU, MSM and sex workers anti-HCV prevalence was below 10 %, and pooled regional prevalence of 4 % (CI 95 % 2.6–4.5 %), 3 % (CI 95 % 1.7–4.5 %) and 2 % (CI 95 % 1.0–3.4 %), respectively. Prison inmates presented higher values, but prevalence decreased over the 15-year time span (p < 0.001). Current HCV infection from three countries showed prevalence under 10 % in prison inmates and 1–46 % among drug users.ConclusionsDisease burden is high and surveillance, prevention and treatment should target these groups in LAC.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00038-015-0708-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
