There were three groups of infection, each occurring within a period of 3 months: four infections with genotype 1b, tw
The aims of the study were: (i) to evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies (third generation tests) and RNA (standardized ultrasensitive RT-PCR assay) in a large cohort of hemodialysis patients, and (ii) to correlate HCV markers with bioclinical features and alanineaminotransfe
