The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique has been utilized for the detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, and several factors related to the selection of primer pairs for the PCR amplification have been demonstrated. The sensitivity of the PCR assay was compared with that of slot-blot hybrid

Three PCR methods based on the GB virus-C/ hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) 5ΠUTR 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
## 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
apologize for giving the wrong Rojkind reference. For historical interest, we used the 1976 (3) publication, but by error, referred to the 1979 one ( 1). Dr. W. J. Lindblad makes an excellent point. The methods section was markedly abbreviated and the paper, as published, does give the misleading i
## Abstract Human herpesvirusβ6 (HHVβ6) is a newly identified human pathogen. Currently clinicians rely mainly on blood lymphocyte culture and serological tests to diagnose HHVβ6 infection. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out on the plasma or sera of patients to determine the value
