Comparison of Elecsys Anti‐HCV II Assay With Other HCV Screening Assays

摘要

Early detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an important step in preventing progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Serologic assays for anti‐HCV antibody are valuable first‐line tests in the screening and diagnosis of HCV infection. This study's aim was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Elecsys Anti‐HCV II assay for HCV screening.
