The recently discovered GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) has been shown to be scarcely associated with hepatitis, though its possible pathogenesis remains unknown. In previous report, we designed primers for semi-nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect 5'-noncoding region of GBV-C/HGV, and screened the sera from 45 patients with liver diseases or on hemodialysis. In this...
