Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays are the standard for detecting hepatitis C virus viremia. The transcription-mediated amplification (TMA)-based assay is more sensitive. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients with a post-end of treatment (EOT) PCR-/TMA+ result to assess the clinical significance of a positive TMA result after a PCR negative EOT response or sustained viral...
