conclusions vaccination of non-immune individuals against hav infection in high risk groups especially hemophilia and thalassemia patients is recommended. results did not show any differences about seroprevalence of hev among iranian general population. results anti-hav igg antibodies were observed more frequently in thalassemia patients (60/64; 93.8%) than in hemophilia patients (104/155; 67.1...

Introduction: Prison, as the most important place for the transmission of infectious diseases, has particular importance, and prison populations are at high risk for infectious diseases like Hepatitis B & C. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Hepatitis B & C among male inmates in six prisons of different provinces in Iran in 2012. Methods: In...

The causative agent of HPgV infection (HGV, GBV-C) was first described as hepatitis G virus, which not confirmed during further researches.
