The antibody to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) was measured by an immunoassay in 507 serum samples from 94 patients with acute and chronic post-transfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANB) and in 436 healthy blood donors. Anti-HCV was found in 70.8 of patients with acute hepatitis, in 78.2 with chronic h

In a retrospective study, antibody to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV antibody) was measured in 80 patients with acute viral hepatitis (type A, 18; type B, 21; type non-A,non-B, 41). Anti-HCV antibody was found in 12 of 20 patients (60%) with non-A,non-B post-transfusion hepatitis (NANB-PTH) and in 9 of
The etiology of acute post-transfusion hepatitis (PTH) non-A, non-B (NANB) in China was investigated with the combination of advanced techniques, including a second generation of enzyme immunoassay for detection of the antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV), a reverse transcription and nested po
To clarify the relationship between hepatitis C virus infection and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma as sequelae of non-A, non-B posttransfusion hepatitis, 231 patients with chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis (96 with chronic hepatitis, 81 with cirrhosis and 64 with hepatocellular carcinoma)
To assess the contribution of hepatitis C virus to non-A, non-B fulminant hepatitis in Japan, we compared 10 mqjor clinical features among 7 patients with type B fulminant hepatitis (type B group), 13 patients with non-A, non-B fulminant hepatitis with evidence of hepatitis C virus infection (type C
## Abstract Many cases of acute hepatitis remain undiagnosed and the hepatitis E virus (HEV) is emerging in industrialized countries. The aim of this study was to assess the role HEV as causative agent in acute nonβA, nonβB, and nonβC hepatitis patients in Hungary. 10.5% of the 264 acute nonβA, non
