Improved understanding of hepatitis C virus (HCV) dynamics during and after liver transplantation can be useful in optimizing antiviral therapy in transplant recipients. We analyzed serum HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels during and after cadaveric liver transplantation in 6 HCV patients. After remo

## Identification of the hepatitis C virus-the main cause of posttransfusion and sporadic non -A, non-B hepatitisand the development of a diagnostic serological test have allowed us to study possible recurrence of this type of hepatitis after liver transplantation. Six of 34 consecutive transplant
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the major causes leading to orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) worldwide. Although viral infection persists in almost all patients, the pathology of recurrent HCV infection after OLT is not well characterized. To address this issue, we compared the pat
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
