[Detection of TT virus DNA by nested-PCR method in non A-E hepatitis cases].

Abstract excerpt

TT virus (TTV) is the unique single stranded circular DNA virus, isolated from humans. Viral DNA is shown to be present not only in patients with hepatitis of unknown etiology but also in apparently healthy populations. TTV's role as a causative agent for non A-E hepatitis is widely questioned. In this study, 23 non A-E hepatitis patients (mean age: 46.8 yrs), 21 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients (mean age: 41.0...
