Evolution of hepatitis C quasispecies may be one mechanism by which fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis develops after liver transplantation. In this study, we compared changes in quasispecies complexity and/or divergence in (1) hepatitis C-infected immunosuppressed transplant recipients and in immunoco
## Abstract Long‐term renal allograft survival in kidney transplant recipients infected by hepatitis C virus (HCV) may be influenced by the occurrence of de novo glomerulopathy associated with this virus. Therefore, we studied the evolution of HCV quasispecies in kidney transplant recipients infect
To elucidate the role of host immune status in the evolution and complexity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) quasispecies, three chronic HCV-infected patients who underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were studied. The three transplanted patients' sera were sampled at pre-BMT, 3 months after BMT, an
1. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA+ liver allograft recipients invariably reinfect the liver allograft within hours after transplantation, and the majority (>70%) develop chronic hepatitis. The rate at which these patients experience progression to cirrhosis and the overall percentage are significantly
