In patients with chronic hepatitis B and C virus (HBV, HCV) infection, an inverse relationship in the replicative activity of the two viruses has been reported. In the present study the genotype of HCV was evaluated in 34 consecutive cases found with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HCV

Sera from patients with chronic hepatitis C were examined for the presence of GBV-C/HGV RNA by RT-PCR. The amplified products, derived from the 5' non-coding, NS3, and NS5a regions, were detected in 19 (19%) of the 100 HCV RNA-positive samples. Analysis of GBV-C/HGV prevalence rates revealed that du
The aim of the study was to investigate whether an ''inapparent'' coinfection by hepatitis B virus (HBV) in anti-HCV-positive chronic liver disease patients may influence interferon (IFN) response. Fourteen anti-HCV-positive, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative but serum HBV-DNA-positive pa
The quasispecies nature of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in patients with mixed HCV subtype infection was compared with that in patients with single HCV subtype infection. The number of HCV quasispecies was compared between 35 patients with mixed HCV subtype infection and 83 patients with single subtype i
Hepatic steatosis has been reported as one of the characteristics which discriminates hepatitis C from other forms of hepatitis, besides lymphoid follicles and bile duct damage. However, it is unclear whether or not the presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) itself is associated with the development of
