Of 74 patients who were infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and received interferon, 12 (16%) were positive for RNA of GB virus C (GBV-C). RNA of GBV-C was determined in sera from the co-infected patients retrospectively, and the effect of interferon on GBV-C was compared with that on HCV in them.
