Core Tip	Much has been published on the epidemiology of hepatitis C virus epidemic in Egypt. The exposures that drive this epidemic are iatrogenic. This review focuses on what has been published on the epidemiology (patterns, distributions, and related factors) of the iatrogenic exposures. The review found that very little has been published on epidemiology of the exposures driving the epidemic. This is essential for developing effective interventions and evaluating prevention pro-grams. Recommendations are given.
