Abstract:
Sensitivities and specificities of four commercial enzyme immunoassay test systems manufactured by Ortho (USA), Abbott (USA), Organon (Netherlands), Innotest (Belgium) and of three pilot Russian diagnostic agents created at the Mazaĭ Research and Production Amalgamation (Moscow) and the D. I. Ivanovskiĭ Institute of Virology (Moscow) and Pasteur Institute (St. Petersburg) for detection of antibody to hepatitis C have been compared. A high incidence of hepatitis C virus infection was revealed in various Moscow populations: blood and plasma donors, inpatients, and medical staff.

Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver most commonly caused by hepatotropic viruses (A–E), though non-infectious causes such as alcohol and drugs also exist.Hepatitis AHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-enveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, typically through ingestion of contaminated food or water. After ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the oropharynx or intestinal epithelium and reaches the liver. The...
01:28Viral Hepatitis I: Introduction
Viral hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver caused by infection with hepatotropic viruses, most commonly hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Despite variations in structure and transmission, all viruses mentioned infect hepatocytes and provoke immune responses that can hinder liver function. Additionally, some non-hepatotropic viruses can also lead to hepatic inflammation.Hepatitis A VirusHepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted through the fecal–oral route, typically by ingestion of food...
