Abstract
Objectives: The aim was to study the role of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients with ischemic
stroke. Methods: 100 patients with ischemic stroke were evaluated and classified into two groups (group I were
patients with ischemic stroke and positive HCV infection & group II were patients with ischemic stroke and
negative HCV infection). Results: Patients with positive HCV infection were younger [61.72 ± 6vs. 67.42±4.4 years
old, respectively; P value
