Hepatitis C virus in the etiology of chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis: Possibility of mixed viral infections due to parenteral transmission
Abstract Sera obtained from 381 patients with chronic liver disease from four cities within the USSR were studied for HBV, HDV, and HCV markers of infection. Anti‐HCV activity was detected in 41.2% of non‐A, non‐B cases. The etiological distribution of chronic hepatitis in Moscow and Dushanbe was si...
