## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) requires reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) or branched DNA signal amplification assays to be detected in patient samples. Although conventional methods of RNA isolation are employed for samples of serum, plasma, and peripheral blood mononuc

## Abstract It is unclear whether pregnancy has any influence on chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between pregnancy and parturition with HCV viremia levels and the natural resolution of HCV RNA. Twenty‐two pregnant patients and 120
Detection and quantification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels by using the standardized qualitative Amplicor™ HCV and quantitative Amplicor HCV Monitor™ assays (Roche Molecular Systems) were evaluated in 48 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with interferon. Results were compared with an
## Abstract The use of two new assays was evaluated for predicting the response to interferon (IFN) therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C. The genotype of hepatitis C virus (HCV) was establishe by an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay based on genotype‐specific recombinant peptides of the NS4
Although the liver is the main target for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, HCV RNA of positive and negative polarity has also been detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by polymerase chain reaction. However, no data have been published on the relationship between the number of HCV
