Abstract
The prevalence of hepatitis G virus (HGV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was determined by reverse transcription-PCR in 777 individua ls with and without risk factors for viral transmission via blood, Fro m our results we conclude that transmission of HGV and that of HCV are favored by similar risk factors.
