PY - 2019 DA - 2019/08/08 TI - Hepatitis C virus infection in Irish drug users and prisoners – a scoping review JO - BMC Infectious Diseases SP - 702 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - Hepatitis C infection is a major public health concern globally. In Ireland, like other European countries, people who use drugs (PWUD) and prisoners carry a larger HCV disease burden than the general population. Recent advances in HCV management have made HCV elimination across Europe a realistic goal. Engaging these two marginalised and underserved populations remains a challenge. The aim of this review was to map key findings and identify gaps in the literature (published and unpublished) on HCV infection in Irish PWUD and prisoners.
