Background Vertical transmission from HCV infected mothers seems to be one of the main modes of infection in children. Approximately 6% of hepatitis C virus-positive women transmit HCV to their offsprings. There has been no information about anti-HCV prevalence in pregnant women in Poland to date. Routine universal antenatal screening for hepatitis C infection has not been shown to be cost effective. Selective antenatal screening is used on the basis of risk factors for exposure to HCV. There is no effective intervention to prevent vertical transmission of HCV during pregnancy, but HCV infection could be reduced by a course of therapy prior to conception. Aim: 1. To determine the frequency of HCV infection in pregnant women in central Poland 2. To estimate knowledge about HCV infection in childbearing women. 3. To identify risk factors for HCV infection among pregnant women.
