A sensitive and specific two-stage polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was developed for the simultaneous amplification and detection of specific genomic sequences of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in serum samples. Initially, HCV-RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA. This

## Abstract Lamivudine therapy often causes breakthrough of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and breakthrough hepatitis. The aim of this study was to determine the viral factors that relate to HBV‐DNA breakthrough with and without breakthrough hepatitis. Among 82 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB)
## Abstract A multi‐targeted “hemi‐nested” PCR (M‐PCR) assay in which the primer pairs derived from the 5′ non‐coding (5′NC) and the nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) regions of HCV genome were concurrently used for amplification in order to compare the sensitivity and specificity of polymerase chain r
