## Abstract The prevalence of antiβHCV was studied in a South African area endemic for hepatitis B virus. A total of 35,685 volunteer blood donors (22,034 whites, 9,218 Asians, 3,077 Africans, 1,356 coloureds), 71 haemophiliacs, 84 chronic dialysis patients, 100 antenatal attenders, 212 nurses, and
## Abstract Several studies had been carried out on antiβhepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence in populations with blood exposure risks and in blood donors. New tests are now available which allow the inβ vestigation to extend to other parameters such as antibody type and HCVβRNA. In this study the p
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
Of 1,801 Chinese subjects, age 1 to 90 years, screened for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody (HBsAg, anti-HBs) and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc), 214 (1 1.9%) had an isolated, positive anti-HBc result; anti-HBc was reproducibly present in the initial sera in only 66% and per
