Infection with putative non-A to E hepatitis virus, designated GB virus C (GBV-C), was surveyed in 286 patients with chronic liver disease in Japan. RNA of GBV-C was detected, by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction with nested primers from the 5'-noncoding region, in 19 patients (6.6%) a

## Abstract The diagnosis of cryptogenic liver disease is made when after extensive evaluations, recognizable etiologies of chronic liver disease are excluded. In this study, the presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA was tested in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) taken from Iranian pati
Infection with GB virus C (GBV-C) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) was surveyed in various populations in Kathmandu, Nepal. GBV-C RNA and HCV RNA were detected in four (2%) and none, respectively, of 181 normal controls. Viral RNAs were detected significantly more frequently (P < 0.001) in 32 (44%) and 4
The serological responses to two different hepatitis C virus antigens were studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in a variety of chronic liver diseases and in healthy blood donors. The study population comprised 97 cases of cryptogenic chronic liver disease (40% with a history suggestive of p
