The recently identified hepatitis G virus (HGV, also named GB virus-C, GBV-C) appears to have similarities to hepatitis C virus and other flaviviridae. To better understand its clinical significance and hepatotropism, we collected liver tissue and matched serum samples from 56 patients undergoing li

The aim of this work was to study the presence of the hepatitis GB virus type C (HGBV-C) in liver and serum samples of children with chronic viral hepatitis, the time course of changes in viral RNA, and the possible acquisition routes of infection. Frozen serum and liver samples from 58 children wit
GB virus-C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) is a newly identified RNA virus. The aim of the study was to compare three primer pairs from the 5Ј untranslated region (5ЈUTR), envelope region 2 (E 2) and nonstructural region 3 (NS 3) of GBV-C/HGV genome for their ability to detect GBV-C/HGV RNA by polymer
