## Abstract The prevalence and the characteristics of hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) in 161 HIVβpositive patients were studied. HCV seroprevalence was determined by enzyme immunoassay and recombinant immunoblot assay (RIBA). Two different reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RTβPCR)
Hepatitis C virus shows substantial nucleotide sequence diversity distributed throughout the viral genome. In the present study genotyping for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients was based on RFLP analysis of 5 0 UTR and using type specific primers of NS5B regions. It was observed that 60% of
An RT-PCR assay using primers from the 5Π-UTR of the GBV-C/HGV genome was used to detect viremia, and a serological assay was used to detect past exposure to GBV-C/HGV, in sera from 106 imprisoned Greek intravenous drug users. High seroprevalence rates indicative of the parenteral route of transmiss
