A novel real-time PCR system for simultaneous detection of human viruses in clinical samples from patients with uncertain diagnoses.

abstract：:The Markov model was introduced to simulate natural histories of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in men and women. The data set was constructed on 942 HCV carriers who were examined at least once a year without receiving antiviral therapies. Based on 2,251 patient-year data, the probabilities of transition between a...
