摘要
The objective of this study was to characterize hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes in blood donors from the Federal District, Central Brazil, and to compare HCV screening by serological assays and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Plasma samples from 57 individuals with reactive or indeterminate results in serological anti-HCV screening assays (ELISA or EIA) were tested for HCV RNA by RT-PCR. Die results from a of the HCV genome was amplified confirmatory LIA serological assay were also evaluated The 5' non-coding region of from 41 PCR positive samples (71.9 %), which were further characterized by nucleotide sequencing analysis. Of these, 60.9 % were of HCV genotype 1 and 39.1 % of genotype 3.
