Approximately 90% of subjects with chronic hepatitis resulting from hepatitis C virus infection have hepatitis C virus RNA in serum. However, the prevalence of hepatitis C virus RNA in serum from subjects with hepatitis C virus antibody associated with persistent normal liver biochemical values is u
Serum samples from 103 blood donors or patients with slightly increased serum levels of liver enzymes were tested for antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) using second generation tests and for HCV RNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR was in a nested configuration, using primer pairs
