## Abstract It is unclear whether pregnancy has any influence on chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between pregnancy and parturition with HCV viremia levels and the natural resolution of HCV RNA. Twentyβtwo pregnant patients and 120
Extensive serological testing and HCV RNA determination by RT-PCR was performed in serum, PBMCs, and liver tissue i n thirteen anti-HCV reactive patients with persistently normal liver tests. Absolute concordance in the status of HCV RNA between serum, PBMCs, and liver was noted. Five patients were
## Abstract As a consequence of the high prevalence of TorqueTeno virus (TTV) in blood donors, thalassemia patients frequently acquire various genotypes of this virus through therapeutic blood transfusions. At present, the clinical consequences of TTV infection remain indeterminate for these patien
WHO International Standards for nucleic acid tests are used widely to compare the different assays used in HCV RNA quantitation. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of the international unit standard for measuring HCV RNA in the management of patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) i
