Background
• Since 2007, Arizona Department of Health
Services (ADHS) has not had the resources to
conduct HCV surveillance.
• Beginning in 2009, ADHS has been onboarding
laboratories to report electronically.

CSTE/ADHS HCV Case Definition
Acute
• Clinical description*
• Lab criteria**
*An acute illness with a discrete onset of any
sign or symptom consistent with acute viral
hepatitis (e.g., fever, headache, malaise,
anorexia, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting,
or diarrhea), and either a) jaundice, or b)
serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels
>400 IU/L.
Chronic
• Lab criteria**
**HCV RIBA positive; OR
Nucleic acid test (NAT) for HCV RNA positive
(including qualitative, quantitative, or
genotype testing); OR
Antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV)
screening-test-positive with a signal to cutoff ratio predictive of a true positive as
determined for the particular assay as
defined by CDC.

Clinical description
Lab criteria
Not acute
If case is < 18 months old, laboratory
confirmation must be by NAT for HCV
RNA.
Probable:
– Not acute
– Anti-HCV positive (repeat reactive) by
EIA and has alanine aminotranferase
(ALT or SGPT) values above the upper
limit of normal, but the anti-HCV EIA
result has not been verified by an
additional more specific assay or the
signal to cutoff ratio is unknown.

Future Analyses
• Examine viral loads to assess burden
• Examine time between different test results to assess:
– how often patients are being tested
– how long patients are positive
– how often antibody positive patients are being followedup for confirmatory testing
•
•
•
•
Cases by county, reporter, provider
Compare current data with historic data
Match with death and HDD database to assess severity
Match with HIV database to look at comorbidity and
other risk factors
