Hepatitis C prevalence among the migrant population in Spain: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2019, Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiologia ClinicaCitation Excerpt :In our study, the highest prevalence of HCV was found among migrants from countries in Europe (7.1%) and from sub-Saharan Africa (3.6%). The HCV antibody prevalence of the general migrant population was consistent with previous findings11,54 and was found to be same as the estimated prevalence of the general population in Spain.23,55 We report an approximate 1.6% anti-HCV prevalence for the general Spanish population on the basis of evidence published by the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention23 and similar prevalences reported in Hope et al.’s 2014 article.55

Screening for parasite infections in immigrant children from low-income countries
2017, Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiologia ClinicaCitation Excerpt :Intestinal parasites were detected in nearly 20% of the patients studied. This figure is less than was previously reported in other works, where the overall prevalence of intestinal parasitic diseases reached 75%.18–20,22 This reduced prevalence of intestinal parasitosis in our study may be explained because more than half of the children had not arrived recently (<6 months).
Imported transmissible diseases in minors coming to Spain from low-income areas
2015, Clinical Microbiology and InfectionCitation Excerpt :HCV infection rate in our children was similar to rates previously described in adult immigrants. The reported prevalence in minors immigrating from Sub-Saharan Africa reached 1.7%, while it was 0% in minors coming from Latin America [17–19]. Three cases of HBV/HCV coinfection were found, which is extremely infrequent in other studies [5].
