Bu çalışmada hemofilili hastaların serumlarında polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (PCR) ile Hepatit C virusu (HCV) RNA 'sı bakıldı. Toplam 232 dondurulmuş serum (- 30°C'de) test edildi. 114 serumda (%49.13) HCV RNA pozitif bulundu, 114 serumda (%> 49.13) HCV RNA negatif bulundu. 4 serum (%1.72) tanımlanamadı.

This study was performed for the detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the sera of the hemophiliac patients. A total of 232 frozen (at -30°C) hemophiliac sera were examined. It was found that 114 of the patients (49.13%) had HCV RNA positive sera, 114 of the patients (49.13%) had HCV RNA negative sera and the sera of the 4 patients (1.72%) were considered as indetermined.
