چکیده

We established a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for simultaneous detection of hepatitis B, C, and G viral genomes. The levels of concordance with the data obtained by conventional single PCR method were 100% for single infection, 98 to 100% for double infections, and 92% for triple infections. This method is not only suited to rapid, large-scale epidemiological screening and clinical diagnosis of those virus infections occurring alone or in combination, but is also time- and cost-effective.

Molecular Detection of HGV RNA in Chronic Hepatitis Patients from Afzalipoor General Hospital in Kerman, Iran

Background and Aims: Viral hepatitis is a global health problem with a high mortality rate. Recently, a new Flavi-like virus, provisionally named hepatitis G virus (HGV), has been described. HGV does not induce an immune response that is consistently detectable by using recombinant proteins from prokaryotic expression, therefore studies have been conducted by using polymerase chain reaction (...
