Anti-HCV was present in 49 of 66 HIV-l-negative women (74.2%), and 63 of 85 HIV-l-positive women (74.1%). Anti-HCV seropositivity was signifi
The prevalence of delta virus infection was studied in 264 intravenous drug abusers (IVDAs) whose sera were found to be HBsAg positive between 1985 and 1987 and in 15 IVDAs from the period 1971-75, seven from 1976, 15 from 1979, and 37 from 1982.
