Visceral larva migrans (VLM) is a disease characterized by chronic eosinophilia, hepatomegaly, and hypergl~bulinemia.l-~ The parasite Toxocara canis and its near relative Toxocara cati are the most common organisms of the disease. After infective-stage eggs are ingested by humans, the

## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been implicated in the etiology of malignant lymphomas. We estimated the risk of lymphoma associated with detection of HCV infection. Cases (__n__ = 529) were consecutive patients newly diagnosed with a lymphoid malignancy between 1998 and 2002 in 4 centers i
HCV encodes two glycoproteins, E1 and E2, that are believed to be exposed on the surface of virions. These molecules are likely to be involved in viral interactions with the host immune response and responsible for mediating viral entry into target cells. They are obvious major components for protot
Recently, transfusion-transmitted virus (TTV) was discovered to be a potential causative agent for non-A-E hepatitis. Little is known about the relation between TTV and the clinical courses of various types of acute viral hepatitis. One hundred twenty-five patients with acute viral hepatitis who wer
## Abstract To investigate the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in childhood liver disease in Taiwan, an area hyperendemic for hepatitis B, we studied antibody to HCV (antiβHCV) with a second generation enzyme immunoassay in 195 infants and children, including 96 hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)
Over a seven-year period, we monitored 221 patients with chronic hepatitis from two medical centers. By using the counterlectrophoresis (CEP) test to detect the presence of HBsAg and anti-HBc, or both, we established that 87.7% of them had hepatitis B infection. Serum specimens originally found nega
