以前曾有在实验感染成型肝炎病毒(HEV)猴子的血清中用聚合酶连反应(PCR)检出HEV RNA的报道,本文作者通过PCR RNA扩增技术检测埃及儿童的连续血清样本,并对人类感染HEV后的病毒血症作了研究。 血清样本获自4例诊断为急性戊型肝炎 Previous reports of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of HEV RNA in sera of experimentally infected, hepatitis-infected (HEV) monkeys have been performed by the authors to detect serial serum samples from Egyptian children by PCR RNA amplification and to detect human HEV Viremia after infection with HEV was studied. Serum samples were obtained from 4 patients diagnosed with acute hepatitis E
