Prevalence of GBV-C/HGV was determined in a cohort of HIV-infected patients, via a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction detection of RNA in serum, amplifying the NS5 region of GBV-C/HGV genome. GBV-C/HGV RNA was detected in 143 (37.7%) of 379 patients, with similar results in the differen

It is difficult to explain the high levels of infection seen with GBV-C/HGV if transmission relies on the parenteral route. A group of young women was investigated in order to establish the prevalence of infection in this age group of the general population and perhaps indicate other possible routes
We studied the prevalence of GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) infection among 112 patients with liver disease and 121 blood donors in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction were employed to detect GBV-C/HGV RNA using the specific primers derived from the 5
A study of GB-C virus/Hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/ HGV) infection was carried out in a rural population of Northeastern Brazil, in which the prevalence of schistosomiasis is 80-90%. Despite the absence of parenteral risk exposure, the prevalence of GBV-C/HGV markers of infection was found to be unusual
