The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the opening of a docket to obtain comment on proposed new recommendations for perinatal hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection testing to identify infants who may go on to develop chronic hepatitis C. Recommendations include: HCV testing of all perinatally exposed infants at age 2-6 months with a Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) for detection of HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA); and referral of infants with detectable HCV RNA to a healthcare provider with expertise in pediatric hepatitis C management. CDC also announces an Informational Webinar to explain the public comment process.
