## Abstract In a prospective study of 287 patients who received blood transfusion, 26 who were found positive for hepatitis C antibody (antiβHCV) by an enzymeβlinked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) were studied by a recombinant immunoblot assay (RIBA). Nineteen of the 26 patients had posttransfusion no

## Abstract Using an enzymeβlinked immunosorbant assay for antibody against hepatitis C virus (antiβHCV), serial serum samples from 26 nonβA, nonβB (NANB) posttransfusion hepatitis (PTH) patients were studied in a prospective study in Taiwan. Sixteen (61.5%) of the 26 patients were positive for ant
GB virus-C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) is an RNA virus that can be transmitted by transfusion with the diagnosis based on the detection of serum GBV-C/HGV RNA by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction. In order to evaluate the role of antibodies to the E2 protein (anti-E2) of GBV-C/HGV in
## Abstract Many cases of acute hepatitis remain undiagnosed and the hepatitis E virus (HEV) is emerging in industrialized countries. The aim of this study was to assess the role HEV as causative agent in acute nonβA, nonβB, and nonβC hepatitis patients in Hungary. 10.5% of the 264 acute nonβA, non
Two chimpanzees with persistent non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis were superinfected with marmoset-passaged MS-1 HAV. Two control chimpanzees were also infected with marmoset-passaged HAV. Neither animal with persistent NANB hepatitis developed elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, whereas b
