The prevalence of persistent hepatitis C in children from an urban hospital in Germany is low. Most patients with HCV antibodies are not infected. Therefore, although universal screening is not warranted, it should always be performed in risk groups such as transfused children because HCV infection in childhood is usually asymptomatic.
