## Abstract The mean prevalence of antiβhepatitis C virus (HCV) in Italy is 0.87%. It reaches 2% in Campania, Southern Italy. Approximately 50% of community acquired nonβA, nonβB (NANB) hepatitis cannot be associated with known parenteral exposure. A recent Italian study has shown that the only dem

An application of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to the direct detection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viremia is described. The amplification of specific HIV-1 sequences of gag and env viral genes was carried out after the reverse-transcription of plasma samples (plasma RT-PCR
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA was extracted from human trigeminal ganglia of 121 cadavers aged between 3 months and 94 years, and its PCR amplification was performed for the RL2 HSV-1 sequence using two pairs of primers. The HSV-1 DNA was detected in 74 of 121 patients (61%); 70/74 bilater
During the winter season of 1994/1995, nasopharyngeal aspirates and blood samples of neonates who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) (group 1) and infants with respiratory tract disease (group 2) were examined prospectively for the presence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used previously for the detection and typing of adenoviruses directly in clinical samples. Since under clinical conditions subgenus-specific identification is often sufficient, we extended the genus-and type-specific PCR by a subgenusspecific PCR. By sequ
