Second-generation assays for detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection that include reactivity of antibodies to core, NS3, NS4 are used because of their high sensitivity. Among these antibodies, anti-core antibody seems to be the most sensitive. However, there are some patients without anti-cor

## Abstract A large number of complete and partial hepatitis C virus (HCV) sequences have been reported and classified into several genotypes, although none have been reported from South Asia. We have determined and evaluated partial sequences in the core region of HCV obtained from patients with c
Ten patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (experimental group) were treated with interferon-a (IF-a). Dosage was six million units per day for one week and then three times a week for another six months. Seven HCV-infected patients (control group) did not receive IF-a therapy. The hypervar
