## Abstract Hepatitis C viral infection in 125 hemodialysis patients from Taiwan was studied using a sec‐ ond‐generation anti‐HCV immunoassay (EIA 11) (Abbott HCV 2.0 EIA) and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the HCV RNA in the se‐ rum. A total of 59 patients (47.2%) were positive by E

In order to study the prevalence of antibody to hepatitis E virus (HEV) among hemodialysis patients and to evaluate whether chronic hemodialysis is associated with an increased risk of exposure to HEV in developed countries, the IgG anti-HEV was determined in serum samples obtained from 182 patients
To investigate whether nosocomial infection with hepatitis Cvirus (HCV) in chronic hemodialysis patients is related primarily to hemodialysis procedures, a multicenter analysis was carried out on 2,132 chronic hernodialysis patients (male: 1,274, female: 858) from 23 dialysis units using a second-ge
