## Abstract To investigate the prevalence of genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Taiwan, genotypes were identified in 122 (36 anti‐HCV‐positive blood donors, 44 anti‐HCV‐positive aborigines, 28 hemodialysis patients, and 14 patients with chronic liver diseases) of 280 subj
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a frequent cause of acute and chronic hepatitis and a leading cause for cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma. HCV is classified in six major genotypes and more than 70 subtypes. In Colombian blood banks, serum samples were tested for anti‐HCV an
## Abstract The genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in 81 patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were investigated by the polymerase chain reaction using type‐specific primers. All the patients were positive for HCV RNA in the serum. Forty‐two patients had L
