Molecular and epidemiological study on nosocomial transmission of HCV in hemodialysis patients in Brazil.

abstract：:Although there is a low prevalence rate (around 1% of the population) of infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Chile, little is known about the diversity and molecular characteristics of the circulating viruses. In the present study, 40 HBV and 57 HCV samples from Santiago City, Chile, ...
