Detection of hepatitis C virus by polymerase chain reaction among Croatian blood donors and patients

The aim of the study was to demonstrate the presence of the viral hepatitis C genome (HCV-RNA), to define viral genotypes, and to determine their distribution in a group of 211 Croatian blood donors previously identified as anti-HCV positive and therefore excluded from the blood donor pool, and in a group of 53 chronic hepatitis C patients.Comparison of seroreactivity (RIBA-3) with HCV genotypes was performed.
