Detection and Analysis of Hepatitis C Virus Sequences in Cerebrospinal Fluid
3 Sept 2002

In four patients harboring different virus strains in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), CSF-derived virus was similar to that found in PBMC, which suggests that PBMC could carry HCV into the brain.
