## Abstract A dengue‐3‐specific real‐time reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) was developed using the novel __L__ight __U__pon e__X__tension (LUX™) fluorogenic technology. A labeled forward primer and a standard reverse primer that target a conserved region within the non‐struc
## Abstract Accuracy for monitoring of the concentration of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA represents a major challenge throughout the management of patients with chronic hepatitis C. To investigate the genotype‐independent efficiency and the accuracy of two real‐time detection reverse transcription‐p
## Abstract The efficacy of interferon therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection improved remarkably. However, virologic relapse occurs in a substantial proportion of patients with virologic response (defined as an HCV RNA level below 50 IU/ml at the end‐of‐treatment). A highly sensitive RT‐nes
