We tested serial serum samples for hepatitis C virus RNA from patients undergoing treatment for chronic hepatitis C with interferon-a using an assay that combined reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction. The subjects studied were 20 patients with chronic hepatitis who had serum antibody
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) RNA was extracted from the sera of patients with acute hepatitis and then detected by molecular hybridization using cloned HAV complementary DNA (cDNA). HAV RNA was detected in 20 of 85 patients with acute HAV infection, mainly during the prodromal stage, or early during the
A high prevalence of anti-Cl00-3 antibodies has been reported in chronic hemodialysis patients. It is, however, unclear whether the results reflect true hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in these patients, since false-positive results have been reported with this antibody assay. In the present study
