Abstract excerpt
We report on molecular characterization of hepatitis C virus (HCV) isolates in intravenous drug abusers, as compared to non-drug using patients with posttransfusion hepatitis or sporadic hepatitis of unknown origin. Virus typing was performed by RFLP analysis of PCR products in the 5' NCR. Subtyp...
