Approximately 90% of subjects with chronic hepatitis resulting from hepatitis C virus infection have hepatitis C virus RNA in serum. However, the prevalence of hepatitis C virus RNA in serum from subjects with hepatitis C virus antibody associated with persistent normal liver biochemical values is u

The recently identified hepatitis G virus (HGV, also named GB virus-C, GBV-C) appears to have similarities to hepatitis C virus and other flaviviridae. To better understand its clinical significance and hepatotropism, we collected liver tissue and matched serum samples from 56 patients undergoing li
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
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
