Objective: The authors had for aim to prospectively study the hepatitis A seroprevalence of an HIV-infected population, followed-up in an outpatient clinic (CISIH Strasbourg).
Design: Blood tests were performed on all patients from September 2003 to March 2004 to screen for hepatitis A (total antibodies with Elisa).
Results: The overall seroprevalence was 219/514 (56.
Background: TT virus (TTV) is a recently discovered virus with a high DNA prevalence in different populations. Its role in pathogenesis is uncertain, particularly in immunocompromised patients.
Patients And Methods: Prevalence of TTV-DNA was evaluated in a cohort of HIV-infected patients and in blood donors by nested PCR, using two different primer sets: T primers, derived from the open reading frame ORF1 region N22; B primers, derived from the untranslated region (UTR).
