Clinical significance of TT virus (TTV) infection was investigated in Egyptian patients with chronic liver disease and volunteer blood donors by a cross sectional analysis. TTV DNA in serum was assessed by a semi-nested polymerase chain reaction. The prevalence of TTV DNA did not differ among patien

An unenveloped single-stranded DNA virus (TTV) has been reported in association with posttransfusion and acute and chronic hepatitis of unknown etiology. DNA of TTV was tested for by polymerase chain reaction with heminested primers in 127 patients with chronic liver disease and 105 healthy blood do
Recently, a novel DNA virus, TT virus (TTV), was identified in patients with post-transfusion non-A-G hepatitis. We analyzed the prevalence and clinical implications of TTV infection in a cohort of 96 Spanish patients on long-term hemodialysis. TTV DNA was detected by nested PCR in 51 (53%) of 96 pa
