摘要:
Patients with post-transfusion, community-acquired or hemodialysis-acquired non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANBH) were tested for antibody to hepatitis C virus (HCV) during acute-phase and resolving or chronicized illness. HCV appears to be involved in most cases of post-transfusion and hemodialysis-acquired NANBH, but only in 40% of community-acquired NANBH. Second generation HCV antibody assays are more specific and sensitive, favoring early detection of HCV seroconversion and identification of HCV-antibody-positive individuals years after exposure to the virus.
