Hepatitis C virus genotype distribution among intravenous drug user and the general population in Hong Kong

1 Jan 2006

Abstract excerpt

This study describes the distribution of hepatitis C genotypes among 106 intravenous drug users and 949 non-drug users in Hong Kong. Genotypes were identified by multiplex RT-PCR targeting the core region of viral genome. The accuracy of this typing system in identifying genotypes 1b and 6a was assessed by phylogenetic analysis. The distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes amongst non-drug users was...
