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

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect hepatitis D (HD) viremia in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Nineteen (9%) of 206 such patients, unselected for liver disease or HBV infection, were found prospectively to be infected by HDV. Thirty-one anti-HIV-pos
A sensitive and specific two-stage polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was developed for the simultaneous amplification and detection of specific genomic sequences of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in serum samples. Initially, HCV-RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA. This
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
## Abstract A newly developed assay for IgA class antibody to hepatitis E virus (IgA anti‐HEV) was used to study 145 serum samples collected during an outbreak of an enterically transmitted hepatitis that occurred in 3 villages in the lower Shebeli region of Southern Somalia between January, 1988 a
Hepatitis D virus and hepatitis B virus nucleic acids were detected by Northern and Southern blot hybridization in the sera and livers of 86 chronic carriers of HBsAg and anti-hepatitis D followed up for a mean of 10 yr. We identified three subsets of patients 13 with hepatitis D virus and hepatitis
