C virus (HCV) main responsible of non A - non B hepatitis appears to be rather frequent within the world population African continent seems to possibly be situated in the high prevalence zones of antibodies HCV carrying. Detection methods of these antibodies have been polished but very fragmentary studies on African populations do not permit to conclude with certainety about the prevalence rate of this virus. However, it appears that concentrations of antibodies detected during chronic hepatopathies might be similar in Europe and in Africa. An epidemiological study on representative samples of the African population seems to be necessary to appreciate the importance of this infection and to monitor its transmission.
