## Abstract A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for hepatitis C viral RNA (HCVβRNA) was used to monitor viraemia levels in six patients at multiple time points before, during, and after interferon therapy for chronic nonβA, nonβB hepatitis (NANBH). Prior to therapy, serum HCVβRNA w
The aim of the study was to investigate whether an ''inapparent'' coinfection by hepatitis B virus (HBV) in anti-HCV-positive chronic liver disease patients may influence interferon (IFN) response. Fourteen anti-HCV-positive, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative but serum HBV-DNA-positive pa
Hepatitis G virus(HGV)/GB virus C(GBV-C) is a newly identified virus associated with human hepatitis. The preliminary prevalence studies of HGV infection in Japan were entirely based on the detection of HGV RNA by RT-PCR. However, the selection of the different primer sets in such assay may influenc
