Abstract

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is increasingly reported among Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar, with active infection rates in adults reaching 20% by 2023. The risk of liver disease progression and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may be amplified by coexisting factors such as chronic malnutrition, coinfections, aflatoxin exposure, metabolic disorders, and environmental toxins. Despite WHO-led efforts, data on these risk factors remain fragmented, and access to care is limited. This study underscores the need for comprehensive surveillance, epidemiological research, and long-term prevention strategies to reduce HCV-related morbidity and the future burden of HCC in displaced Rohingya populations.

优化孟加拉国考克斯巴扎尔罗兴亚难民的丙型肝炎病毒管理：解决辅助因素和环境风险以减轻长期肝病并发症

科克斯巴扎尔的罗兴亚难民中丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染的报告越来越多，到2023年成人活动性感染率将达到20%。慢性营养不良、合并感染、黄曲霉毒素暴露、代谢紊乱和环境毒素等共存因素可能会放大肝病进展和肝细胞癌（HCC）的风险。尽管世卫组织领导了努力，但关于这些风险因素的数据仍然不完整，获得护理的机会有限。这项研究强调需要进行全面的监测、流行病学研究和长期预防策略，以减少流离失所的罗兴亚人群中hcv相关的发病率和HCC的未来负担。
