## Abstract To investigate the prevalence of hepatitis C virus in the family members of patients with hepatitis C, we examined antibody to hepatitis C virus with a secondโgeneration enzymeโlinked immunosorbent assay and viral RNA with a combined assay of reverse transcription and polymerase chain r

Many cases of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis cannot be attributed to a known cause and are collectively referred to as cryptogenic chronic liver disease. We have evaluated the role of the hepatitis C virus in the pathogenesis of this condition in a retrospective serum analysis for antibody to hepat
## Abstract A study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and risk factors for serological evidence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Tests for antiโHCV antibody were carried out by enzymeโlinked immunoassay (EIA) on 101 HIVโ
We assessed the correlation between the positivity for serum IgM antibody to hepatitis C virus and the activity of liver disease in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Serum samples were taken from 10 antibody to hepatitis C virus-positive asymptomatic patients with normal serum ALT l
## Abstract Seventyโfour patients who were maintained on chronic haemodialysis in King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were tested using the recently available ELISA to determine the prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (antiโHCV) in a haemodialysis unit. The prevalence r
## Abstract Antihepatitis C virus (HCV) IgM antibodies were found in patients with both acute and chronic hepatitis C. The aims of the study were to determine the significance, in terms of liver disease and virological parameters, of antiโHCV core IgM antibodies in the serum of patients with chroni
