A novel DNA virus, TT-virus (TTV), has been reported in patients with non-A-G posttransfusion hepatitis in Japan. We sought to determine whether TTV infection occurs in North American blood donors and to further determine the prevalence of TTV infection in several groups of patients with liver disea
Clinical significance of TT virus (TTV) infection was investigated in Egyptian patients with chronic liver disease and volunteer blood donors by a cross sectional analysis. TTV DNA in serum was assessed by a semi-nested polymerase chain reaction. The prevalence of TTV DNA did not differ among patien
Serum samples from healthy and diseased children were studied for the presence of TTV DNA by nested PCR using primer sets generated from N-22 region and from the untranslated region (UTR) of the viral genome. N-22 positive TTV DNA was detectable in 33 (27%) of 122 healthy children, 47 (73.4%) of 64
