## Abstract Partial nucleotide sequences in the core region of the hepatitis C viral genome were determined by reverse transcription followed by polymerase chain reaction, in a patient with chronic hepatitis from South Africa. These nucleotide sequences showed a low degree of homology with known ty

Hepatitis C virus shows substantial nucleotide sequence diversity distributed throughout the viral genome. In the present study genotyping for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients was based on RFLP analysis of 5 0 UTR and using type specific primers of NS5B regions. It was observed that 60% of
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype is an important predictor of disease progression and treatment response. This descriptive study investigated the sequence diversity and genotypes of HCV in South Africa based on comparative analysis of the 5โฒ untranslated region (UTR), C/E1, and NS5B reg
Sera from 70 patients on maintenance haemodialysis, 98 patients with chronic liver disease, and 232 volunteer blood donors in the province of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, were screened for GB virus/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) RNA and anti-E2 by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-P
