Abstract

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is associated with various types of tumors. Our study examines the prevalence of hepatitis C infection in myeloma and compares the findings with a control group. Our results show a prevalence of HCV of 32% in the myeloma patients compared with a prevalence of 9% in the control group, with an odds ratio of 4.3, Cl 95% 1.8-11.0 (p=0.001).
