Inclusion of patients in conventional hospitalization at Saint Joseph Hospital. Each consenting patient benefits from a screening HCV serology carried out during a biological sample indicated by his state of health. In the case of positive HCV serology, an additional sample will be taken in search of viral replication. All detectable HCV PCR patients will be admitted to hepatology consultation for assessment of liver status including non-invasive methods and possible treatment according to the conditions of the Marketing Authorization and recommendations for routine clinical practice. Data on management (treatment or non-treatment and treatment outcome: prolonged virological response 12 weeks after completion of treatment) will be collected.
