Abstract

Since the tactics of therapy for chronic viral hepatitis C are determined by the genotype of the virus, accurate determination of the virus genotype by laboratory methods and monitoring the structure of genotypes of viral hepatitis C are essential elements of surveillance of this infection. In this regard, the question of the stability of the picture of genotypic diversity in Almaty 5 years ago is of scientific interest for clinicians and pharmacists. Analysis of the spread of genotypes of viral hepatitis C in Almaty will provide information for further improvement of preventive programs and treatment tactics.
