The recently identified hepatitis G virus (HGV, also named GB virus-C, GBV-C) appears to have similarities to hepatitis C virus and other flaviviridae. To better understand its clinical significance and hepatotropism, we collected liver tissue and matched serum samples from 56 patients undergoing li

## Abstract A rapid technique for the detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in liver section using nonisoβtopic in situ hybridization was described. Only 3 of the 10 patients seropositive for antibody to HCV and HCV RNA had detectable HCV RNA in the hepatocytes (1%, 2%, and 15% of cells positive
The aim of this work was to study the presence of the hepatitis GB virus type C (HGBV-C) in liver and serum samples of children with chronic viral hepatitis, the time course of changes in viral RNA, and the possible acquisition routes of infection. Frozen serum and liver samples from 58 children wit
