## Abstract Hemophiliacs who have been exposed to unβheated and/or dry heated pooled clotting factor concentrates are at a high risk of chronic hepatitis C. Serum HCVβRNA was measured by reverse transcriptaseβpolymerase chain reaction (RTβPCR) technique in 58 hemophiliacs positive for antiβHCV anti
Possible hepatitis B immunization of all newborns, regardless of the mother's HBsAg status, is a strategy under consideration for selected hyperendemic areas in Italy. Sardinia is one such area. However, in 1987 in Sardinia, the prevalence of hepatitis B markers in children under 11 years was estima
In 1988 in Palermo, Italy the prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) in a sample of 490 children 6-13 years old was 10.6o/0; it increased from 6.30/0 among children 6-10 years old to 14.7Β°/0 in children 11-13 years old (P < 0.01). Compared with findings from a survey conducted in
The sera of 722 children and adolescents without overt liver disease were tested for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), antiHBs and anti-hepatitis B core anti-HBc; 658 of the sera were also tested for anti-hepatitis A virus anti-HAV.
