To assess the prevalence of GBV-C in patients suffering unknown liver disease we have investigated the GBV-C-RNA in serum of 54 patients: 10 with acute and 32 with chronic non-A-E hepatitis (16 active and 16 persistent), 10 with hepatocellular carcinoma, 2 diagnosed with hepatic fulminant failure, a
An unenveloped DNA virus named TT virus (TTV) has been reported in association with acute and chronic hepatitis of unknown etiology. The effect of interferon on TTV was evaluated in the patients with chronic hepatitis C who were coinfected with TTV. TTV DNA was determined by a polymerase chain react
Recently, genomic DNA of the novel TT virus (TTV) was isolated from patients suffering from posttransfusion hepatitis of unknown etiology. We examined sera from 197 children who visited the Department of Pediatrics at Toyohashi National Hospital. Sera were tested for TTV DNA by seminested polymerase
Clinical significance of TT virus (TTV) infection was investigated in Egyptian patients with chronic liver disease and volunteer blood donors by a cross sectional analysis. TTV DNA in serum was assessed by a semi-nested polymerase chain reaction. The prevalence of TTV DNA did not differ among patien
