Risk of hepatitis C virus infections through household contact with chronic carriers: Analysis of nucleotide sequences
Masao Honda, Shuichi Kaneko, Masashi Unoura, Kenichi Kobayashi, Seishi Murakami – 1 June 1993 – We evaluated the risk of hepatitis C virus transmission through household contact with chronic carriers using nucleotide sequence analysis. Chronic hepatitis C patients (76 patients) were divided into two groups: familial transmission of hepatitis C virus was studied in group A (53 patients); group B (23 patients) served as nonfamilial controls for group A.
