Bacterial DNA (bactDNA) is present in blood and ascitic fluid (AF) in a third of patients with cirrhosis and ascites, but whether this phenomenon represents episodes of bacterial translocation (BT), strictly considered when culture of mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) are positive, remains unknown.

Persistent infection of the uterine cervix with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) is causally associated with cancer of the cervix. A few studies have reported the presence of HPV DNA in the blood of women with cervical neoplasia. The aim of this study was to determine if HPV DNA could be detec
Detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in peripheral blood leukocytes has been shown to be a sensitive marker of CMV infection. However, the specificity with regard to its clinical significance is less clear, since infections considered to be latent may be detected. In this report, the presence of C
## Abstract The TT virus (TTV), a member of a family of human viruses related to the __circoviridae__ viruses, was associated initially with acute and chronic liver diseases. TTV consists of a singleโstranded, circular DNA genome of 3.8 kilobases (kb) and at least three open reading frames (ORFs).
