TT virus (TTV) has been proposed as the causative agent of non-A to E hepatitis. We studied the association between TTV viremia and biochemical evidence of hepatitis in blood donors and prospectively-followed patients. TTV was found in 7.5% of 402 donors and in 11.0% of 347 patients before transfusi

Serum TTV DNA was assayed in 140 native Indians and 40 members of the general population in Colombia to determine the prevalence of TT virus (TTV) infection among Colombian native Indians. Of the 140 native Indians, 23 (16.4%) were positive for TTV DNA, compared to 4 (10.0%) of 40 from the general p
A novel DNA virus, TT virus (TTV), was identified in a Japanese patient with posttransfusion hepatitis. The epidemiology and etiological role of this virus have not been elucidated. We investigated the epidemiology of TTV infection in hepatitis C virus (HCV) high endemic and low endemic areas, R tow
