Abstract excerpt

GB virus C or hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV), a novel Flavivirus, is detected in 1.5% of US blood donors. The prevalence is higher in multiply transfused patients and in persons with liver disease. Because of the increased incidence of hepatitis in Asia, sera from healthy Vietnamese were tested for the presence of GBV-C/HGV RNA by the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Viral RNA was detected in 5.7%...
