Abstract

Objective: Identify genotypes and the relationship between genotype distribution and epidemiological characteristics in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Research subjects and methods: patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C virus at Nghe An General Hospital in the period from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2023 were tested for genotype. using gene sequencing technology. Results: Among a total of 98 patients with hep C who were tested to determine their genotypes using gene sequencing technology, genotype 1 had 47 patients (47.9%), genotype 6 had 43 patients (43.8). %), genotype 2 had 01 patient (0.01%) and 07 patients (0.07%) whose genotype could not be determined. In the group of patients whose genotype was determined, subtype 1b accounted for the largest proportion with 36 cases (37%), followed by subtype 6a with 30 cases (31%), subtype 1a with 11 cases (11%). There is no association between HCV genotype and subtype with age, gender and geographical area. Conclusion: Genotype 1 accounts for the highest proportion, in which subtype 1b predominates. There is no relationship between genotype, subtype and gender, age and geographical area
