Abstract
Objective:
To study the hepatitis G virus(HGV) infection in posttransfusion patients.
Methods:
HGV RNA and HCV RNA were detected by RT-PCR, and anti-HGV and HBsAg were assayed by ELISA in 63 posttransfusion patients with blood diseases.
Results:
The positive rates of HGV RNA, HCV RNA and anti-HGV were 7.9%, 46.0% and 6.3%, respectively. HGV infection was usually accompanied by HCV infection and elevation of ALT.
Conclusion:
HGV as well as HCV may transmitted by blood transfusion.
