## Abstract The epidemiology of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) is important for health planners and service providers. A crossβsectional study was conducted to investigate the seroprevalence and associated risk factors for markers of HBV (HBsAg) and antiβHCV among hemodialysis
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
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
