Infection with putative non-A to E hepatitis virus, designated GB virus C (GBV-C), was surveyed in 286 patients with chronic liver disease in Japan. RNA of GBV-C was detected, by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction with nested primers from the 5'-noncoding region, in 19 patients (6.6%) a

## Abstract GB virus C (GBVโC) infection is frequent in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) due to similar transmission routes of these viruses. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of infection and genotypic characteristics of GBVโC in this population. The pres
A novel RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family has been discovered recently and designated hepatitis GB-C virus (GBV-C). Previous studies have reported that GBV-C is associated with posttransfusion hepatitis, chronic viral hepatitis, and cryptogenic hepatitis. However, the clinical significance of GBV
