Abstract

The present work was planned to find a correlation between HCV infection and diabetes mellitus (DM) incidence in Egyptian patients by finding a possible relationship between HCV antibodies and both anti-insulin antibodies (AIAs) and pancreatic islet cell antibodies (PICAs). The screening results showed that the percentage of HCV patients out of 200 subjects were 35.5 and 14.5% in males and females, respectively. Also, the association between DM and HCV were 13.21 and 13.64% in men and women, respectively. The titers of antibodies in diabetic or non-diabetic patients ranged from 30 - 58 for AIAs and from 30 - 40 for PICAs, The percentage of patients with raised serum transaminases was significantly more in DM patients with positive HCV antibody (52.3%) than DM patients with negative HCV antibody (16.7%). Conclusion, it can be concluded that diabetic or non-diabetic patients with HCV might have a rise titer of the antibodies toward insulin or its secretory cells in pancreas or toward both. where are more susceptible to both HCV-infection and antibodies than women, indicating to here is a significant association between HCV infection and induction of diabetes in Egyptians.
