To clarify the virological differences in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with and without liver damage, we assessed HCV markers in 306 patients from a rural area of Japan. Genotypes of HCV RNA were determined by polymerase chain reaction, and levels of RNA were determined by

## Abstract Chronic hepatitis C in children is characterized by milder forms of liver damage than those found in adults. Such a difference has been attributed to a low viral load in children that may lead to poor recognition of infected cells by the immune system. One approach that could be used to
The role of GB virus-C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/ HGV), a recently identified member of the Flaviviridae family, in children with liver disease is not well understood. The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of GBV-C/HGV and to clarify its pathogenic role in young patients with chronic
## Abstract The prevalence of hepatitis‐C virus (HCV) infection was investigated in a group of children with chronic post‐transfusion hepatitis using a first‐and second‐generation HCV‐antibody ELISA, 2 confirmatory tests (a second‐generation recombinant immunoblot assay and a line immunoas‐say) as
## Abstract The present investigation compared the histological findings in the liver of chronic hepatitis C patients who were or were not co‐infected with TT virus (TTV) to determine the histological and clinical characteristics of TTV infection. One hundred eighty patients with chronic hepatitis
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
