Hepatitis C virus genotype 6 infection in India.
We report two patients with chronic liver disease--a 46-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman, both from eastern India--who were found to be infected with hepatitis C virus genotype 6 strains. These strains have been previously reported only from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

متن کاملHigh prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection and predominance of genotype 4 in rural Gabon.
Hepatitis C (HCV) molecular epidemiology is documented poorly in central African countries. In response to this, a population-based study of 319 consenting adults resident in a remote village of Gabon was undertaken (mean age: 38 years; age range: 13-85+; sex ratio: 0.74). Screening for anti-HCV antibodies was performed using ELISA and recombinant immunoblot assay. Seropositive samples were ass...
متن کاملCharacterization of Samples Identified as Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 without Subtype by Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II Assay Using the New Abbott HCV Genotype Plus RUO Test
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotyping continues to be relevant for therapeutic strategies. Some samples are reported as genotype 1 (gt 1) without subtype by the Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II (GT II) test. To characterize such samples further, the Abbott HCV Genotype Plus RUO (Plus) assay, which targets the core region for gt 1a, gt 1b, and gt 6 detection, was evaluated as a reflex test in refere...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of the Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II for hepatitis C virus genotyping.
BACKGROUND The Abbott RealTime hepatitis C virus (HCV) Genotype II (Abbott Molecular Inc.) for HCV genotyping, which uses real-time PCR technology, has recently been developed. METHODS Accuracy and sensitivity of detection were assessed using the HCV RNA PHW202 performance panel (SeraCare Life Sciences). Consistency with restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) data, cross-reactivity wit...
