Isolates of hepatitis A virus (HAV) are of a single serotype, with human isolates being categorised within four genotypes. In addition, there are three genotypes exclusively associated with Old World monkeys. In some geographical regions, related isolates cluster suggesting endemic spread of the vir
We studied the prevalence of GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) infection among 112 patients with liver disease and 121 blood donors in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction were employed to detect GBV-C/HGV RNA using the specific primers derived from the 5
The etiology of sporadic acute hepatitis was studied in 334 consecutive patients from Taiwan (237 men and 97 women, aged 16-81 years), with emphasis on the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis E virus (HEV), and GB virus-C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) in acute non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis an
Natural variation in hepatitis B virus (HBV) was studied in asymptomatic carriers originating from countries of high endemicity. HBV DNA was detected by dot blot and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 34 of the 184 members of 22 new immigrant families who agreed to be tested after one of their ch
A systematic virological follow-up of hemodialysis patients identified 11 cases of de novo hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the same unit that were not due to blood transfusion. There were three groups of infection, each occurring within a period of 3 months: four infections with genotype 1b, tw
