## Abstract Hemophiliacs who have been exposed to un‐heated and/or dry heated pooled clotting factor concentrates are at a high risk of chronic hepatitis C. Serum HCV‐RNA was measured by reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) technique in 58 hemophiliacs positive for anti‐HCV anti
