RNAs of GB virus C (GBV-C) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) were sought by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction with nested primers deduced from the 5Π untranslated region: 79 patients on maintenance hemodialysis, 205 commercial blood donors, and 205 voluntary donors in Beijing were studied.

Recently, sequences from a novel human flavivirus, termed GB virus C (GBV-C) or hepatitis G virus (HGV), have been identified in serum from patients with cryptogenic hepatitis and others. Sera from 116 patients with different clinical backgrounds were tested for the presence of GBV-C/HGV RNA by a re
GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) RNA was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction with primers derived from the nonstructural region 3 (NS3) in 9 (4.1%) of 221 blood donors and 2 of 20 (10%) hemophilia patients in Martinique, French West Indies. Anti-E2 antibodies were fou
## Abstract GB virus type C is a wellβknown viral agent with capability of infecting patients undergoing hemodialysis. Liver enzyme levels in infected individuals have been reported to remain within the normal range. Simultaneous infection of GBVβC and other viral agents may occur due to common rou
