## Abstract Detection of hepatic hepatitis C virus RNA and antigens is difficult since their expression is very low. The technique of in situ reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (ISโRTโPCR) was developed for the detection and localization of HCV RNA in formalinโfixed paraffinโembedded l
Three PCR methods based on the GB virus-C/ hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) 5ะUTR and NS3 genomic region were used for the detection of GBV-C/HGV RNA in serum of 62 patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Ten of 62 (16%) patients were found to have GBV-C/ HGV RNA, which was confirmed b
