## Abstract To evaluate whether hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an occupational hazard in the dental environment, serum samples collected in 1990–1991 from 461 dentists were tested for the antibody to HCV (anti‐HCV) with first‐ and second‐generation HCV enzyme‐linked immunoassays (EIAs). Five

Previous studies from Spain, Italy, and France have demonstrated a high prevalence (71% to 91%) of antibodies against hepatitis C virus in patients with porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT). To determine the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in PCT in Germany, we have assessed the prevalence of antibodies ag
## 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
It is difficult to explain the high levels of infection seen with GBV-C/HGV if transmission relies on the parenteral route. A group of young women was investigated in order to establish the prevalence of infection in this age group of the general population and perhaps indicate other possible routes
A population of 622 prostitutes in Taiwan was tested for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) using a synthetic peptide assay composed of representative determinants from capsid and nonstructural (NS) viral proteins. Seventy-four (12%) were positive and the remaining 548 (88%) were negativ
