The antibody to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) was measured by an immunoassay in 507 serum samples from 94 patients with acute and chronic post-transfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANB) and in 436 healthy blood donors. Anti-HCV was found in 70.8 of patients with acute hepatitis, in 78.2 with chronic h
In a retrospective study, antibody to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV antibody) was measured in 80 patients with acute viral hepatitis (type A, 18; type B, 21; type non-A,non-B, 41). Anti-HCV antibody was found in 12 of 20 patients (60%) with non-A,non-B post-transfusion hepatitis (NANB-PTH) and in 9 of
