In patients with chronic hepatitis B and C virus (HBV, HCV) infection, an inverse relationship in the replicative activity of the two viruses has been reported. In the present study the genotype of HCV was evaluated in 34 consecutive cases found with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HCV
Recently, sequences from a novel human flavivirus, termed GB virus C (GBV-C) or hepatitis G virus (HGV), have been identified in serum from patients with cryptogenic hepatitis and others. Sera from 116 patients with different clinical backgrounds were tested for the presence of GBV-C/HGV RNA by a re
## Autoantibodies in human immunodeficiency virusinfected patients with and without concurrent hepatitis C infection Infections caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), 2 blood-transmitted and frequently coinfecting agents, have been associated with autoantibody pr
Of 74 patients who were infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and received interferon, 12 (16%) were positive for RNA of GB virus C (GBV-C). RNA of GBV-C was determined in sera from the co-infected patients retrospectively, and the effect of interferon on GBV-C was compared with that on HCV in them.
RNAs of GB virus C (GBV-C) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) were sought by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction with nested primers deduced from the 5Π untranslated region: 79 patients on maintenance hemodialysis, 205 commercial blood donors, and 205 voluntary donors in Beijing were studied. G
