## Abstract Among 39, 656 voluntary blood donors in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, 115 (0.29%) were repeatedly reactive for antibody to hepatitis C virus (antiโHCV) by second generation (2ndโgen) passive hemagglutination assay (PHA). Positive serum samples were tested for antiโHCV using three different
## Abstract Hepatitis C viral infection in 125 hemodialysis patients from Taiwan was studied using a secโ ondโgeneration antiโHCV immunoassay (EIA 11) (Abbott HCV 2.0 EIA) and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the HCV RNA in the seโ rum. A total of 59 patients (47.2%) were positive by E
812 serum samples from 382 males and 430 females from various age groups were examined. All the samples were tested for anti-HCV hepatitis C virus, anti-HBc and HBsAg with an enzymeimmunoassay. The total serum prevalence was 2.9% for anti-HVC, 22.2% for anti-HBc and 4.60/0 for HBsAg. The seropositiv
