Recent reports suggest that hepatitis C virus (HCV) might be a causative agent of mixed cryoglobulinemia. To determine whether the HCV genotype is a factor implicated in the onset of cryoglobulinemia, genotyping by direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products of the 5Π non coding region w

tions (PCR), as described in later paragraphs. When virus sequences were amplifiable by this technique, they were further characterized for genotype and subtype, as described in later paragraphs in detail. Abbreviations: HCV, hepatitis C virus; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; ALT, alanine Follow-Up.
Several genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been recently identified by phylogenetic analysis, but their clinical relevance in the liver transplant setting is unknown. We evaluated the incidence and course of recurrent hepatitis C after transplantation in 50 patients who underwent transplantat
The prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCVAb) was investigated in 52 unselected patients with mixed cryoglobulinemia and in 84 patients with other systemic immunologic diseases. HCVAb were detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and their specificity was evaluated by a recombin
